Lyrics

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 uniforms of brutality
 How many rivers do we have to cross
 Before we can talk to the boss? I'm singin'
 All we got, it seems we have lost
 We must have really paid the cost
 That's why we're gonna be
 Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
 Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
 Burnin' all pollution tonight
 Burnin' all illusion tonight
 Give me the food and let me grow
 Let the Root Man take the gold, I say
 'Cause all them drugs gonna make you slow now
 It's not the music from the ghetto
 Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
 Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
 Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
 Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
 ♪
 How many river, how many river
 Do we have to cross, talk to the boss
 And what more, if only that we have lost
 We must have really paid the cost
 That's why we're gonna be
 Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (burning and a-looting)
 Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (oh lordy lordy)
 Burnin' all pollution tonight
 Burnin' all illusions tonight
 Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
 Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
 Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (who can stop the tears tonight?)
 Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (suffering these tears tonight)
