Burnin' & Lootin' - Live At Music Hall, Boston / 1978

This morning I woke up in a curfew
 ♪
 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
 Let the Roots Man take a blow
 
 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
