Burnin' And Lootin' (Live At The Rainbow Theatre, London / 1977)

Did you say, this morning
I woke up in a curfew
Oh God I was a prisoner too
Could not recognize the faces
Standing over me
All dressed in uniform of brutality
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss?
I'm saying
All we got, it seem we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be

Burnin' and lootin' tonight
To survive
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
Save your baby life
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Did you say?
Burnin' all illusion tonight

Give me the food and let me grow now
Let the Roots Man take the gold
'Cause I mean
All them drugs gon' make you slow now
It's not the music from the ghetto

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Oh, did you cry?
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight

How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss?
All we got, it seem we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be

Burnin' and lootin' tonight
To survive
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
Save your baby life
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight

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