文本歌词

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 Eh
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
That's why we gonna be
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight;
Say we gonna burn and loot
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight;
One more thing
Burnin' all pollution tonight;
Oh yeah yeah
Burnin' all illusion tonight
Oh stop them
Give me the food and let me grow;
Let the Roots Man take a blow
All them drugs gonna make you slow now;
It's not the music of the ghetto Eh
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight;
Who can stop the tears
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight;
We've been suffering these long long-a years
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Will you say cheer
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
But where
Give me the food and let me grow;
Let the Roots Man take a blow
I must say: all them - all them drugs gonna make you slow;
It's not the music of the ghetto
We gonna be burning and a-looting tonight;
To survive yeah
Burning and a-looting tonight;
Save your baby lives
Burning all pollution tonight;
Pollution yeah yeah
Burning all illusion tonight
Lord-a Lord-a Lord-a Lord
Burning and a-looting tonight;
Burning and a-looting tonight;
Burning all pollution tonight
