Bob Marley & The Wailers - Talkin' Blues

Burnin' & Lootin' - Live At The Record Plant, 1973

This morning I woke up in a curfew
O God, I was a prisoner, too - yeah!
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality

How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss? Eh!
All that we got, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost

Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight

Give me the food and let me grow
Let the Roots Man take a blow
All them drugs gonna make you slow
It's not the music from the ghetto

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight

Give me the food and let me grow
Let the Roots Man take a blow
All them drugs gonna make you slow
It's not the music from the ghetto

We burning and a-looting tonight
Burning and a-looting tonight
Burning all pollution tonight
We burning all illusion tonight

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight

This morning I woke up in a curfew
O God, I was a prisoner, too - yeah!
Could not recognize those faces standing over me
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality

How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss?
All that we got, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost

We burning and a-looting tonight
Burning and a-looting tonight
Burning all pollution tonight
We burning all illusion tonight
