Bob Marley - Live! : Burnin' And Lootin'
 

Bob Marley



Live!



Burnin' And Lootin'





This morning I woke up in a curfew



Oh god, I was a prisoner too - yeah



Could not recognise the faces standing over me



They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality







How many rivers do we have to cross



Before we can talk to the boss



All that we got seems lost



We must have really paid the cost







(That's why we gonna be)



Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight



(Say we gonna burn and loot)



Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight



(One more thing)



Burnin all pollution tonight



(Oh yeah, yeah)



Burning all illusions tonight







Oh stop them







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 of the ghetto







Weeping and a-wailing tonight



(Ooh can't stop the tears)



Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight



(We've been suffering all these long, long years)



Weeping and a-wailing 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 of the ghetto







We gonna be burnin' and a-lootin' tonight



(To survive, yeah)



Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight



(Save your babies lives)



Burning all pollution tonight



Burning all illusions tonight







Burnin and lootin tonight



Burnin and lootin tonight
