This morning I woke up in a curfew; O God, I was a prisoner, too – yeah!
\nCould not recognize the faces standing over me; They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality. eh!<\/p>\n

How many rivers do we have to cross, before we can talk to the boss? eh!
\nAll that we got, it seems we have lost; We must have really paid the cost.<\/p>\n

that’s why we gonna be Burnin and a-lootin tonight;
\n(say we gonna burn and loot), Burnin and a-lootin tonight;
\n(one more thing) Burnin all pollution tonight;
\n(oh, yeah, yeah) Burnin all illusion tonight.<\/p>\n

Oh, stop them!<\/p>\n

Give me the food and let me grow; Let the roots man take a blow.
\nAll them drugs gonna make you slow now; Its not the music of the ghetto. eh!<\/p>\n

Weeping and a-wailin tonight;
\n(who can stop the tears? )Weeping and a-wailin tonight;
\n(we’ve been suffering these long, long-a years!)Weeping and a-wailin tonight
\n(will you say cheer? )Weeping and a-wailin tonight
\n(but where? )<\/p>\n

Give me the food and let me grow;Let the roots man take a blow.
\nI must say: all them – all them drugs gonna make you slow;
\nIts not the music of the ghetto.<\/p>\n

We gonna be burning and a-looting tonight;
\n(to survive, yeah!)Burning and a-looting tonight;
\n(save your baby lives)Burning all pollution tonight;
\n(pollution, yeah, yeah!)Burning all illusion tonight
\n(lord-a, lord-a, lord-a, lord!)<\/p>\n

Burning and a-looting tonight;
\nBurning and a-looting tonight;
\nBurning all pollution tonight.<\/p>\n
