Burnin' And Lootin' - Live At The Lyceum, London/1975

This morning I woke up in a curfew
Oh God, I was a prisoner, too
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
All dressed in uniforms of brutality

How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss?
I'm singing, all we got it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost

That's why we gonna be
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin'all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight

Oh give me the food and let me grow
Let the Roots Man take a blow
I say, 'cause all them drugs gonna make you slow now
It's not the music of the ghetto

We weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
(Louder, louder and louder)
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight

How many rivers, how many rivers
Do we have to cross to talk to the boss?
And all we want more, it more likely we have lost
We must have really paid the cost

That's why we gonna be
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin'all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight (who can stop the tears tonight?)
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight (Suffering these long years)
