Burnin’ And Lootin’

Lyrics

[Verse 1] This morning I woke up in a curfew Oh God, I was a prisoner 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? All that we got, it seems we have lost We must have really paid the cost [Chorus 1] Oh, we burnin' and a-lootin' tonight Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (One more time) Burnin' all pollution tonight Burnin' all illusion tonight (Oh, stop them!) [Bridge] 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 (Music of the ghetto) [Chorus 2] Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (We've been suffering too long) Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (Will you say cheer?) Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (Yah yeah!) [Bridge] Give me the food and let me grow Let the Roots Man take a blow All them drugs gonna make you slow, you know It's not the music of the ghetto (Music of the ghetto) [Chorus 1] Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight Burning all pollution tonight Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight Burning all illusion tonight (Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord!) Burning all pollution tonight Burning all illusion tonight [Outro] We've been suffering too long We've been, we've been, we've been suffering too long
