This morning I woke up in a curfew
ย
Oh God, I was a prisoner, too (Yeah!)
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
All dressed in uniforms of brutality (Eh)
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss? (Eh)
I'm saying, all that we got, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
(That's why we going to be)
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
(To survive)
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
(Save your baby lives)
Burnin' all pollution tonight
(Oh, yeah, yeah)
Burnin' all illusion tonight.
Give me the food and let me grow
ย
Let the Roots Man take a blow
ย
All them drugs gonna make you slow now
It's not the music from the ghetto. (Eh)
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
(Will you say cheer?)
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
ย
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
(To survive)
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
(Save your baby lives)
Burnin' all pollution tonight
(Oh, yeah, yeah)
Burnin' all illusion tonight
Burning and a-looting tonight
(To survive, yeah!)
Burning and a-looting tonight
(Save your baby lives)
Burning all pollution tonight
Burning all illusion tonight
