Burnin' and Lootin' (Live) - Bob Marley
Written by:Bob Marley
This morning I woke up in a curfew
O god I was a prisoner too yeah
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality eh
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
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 roots man take a blow
I would say
All them drugs gonna make you slow
It's not the music of the ghetto
Weeping and a wailin' tonight
Weeping and a wailin' tonight
Weeping and a wailin' tonight
Weeping and a wailin'
Weeping and a wailin' a wailin' tonight
But where
Give me the food and let me grow
We gonna
Let the roots man take a blow
All them drugs gonna make you slow
It's not the music of the ghetto
Burning and a looting tonight
Burning and a looting tonight
Burning all pollution tonight
Burning all illusion tonight
Weeping and a wailin' tonight
Weeping and a wailin'
Weeping and a wailin'
It's about tonight
It's wailin' about tonight tonight tonight
Tonight tonight
Weeping and a wailin' tonight
This morning I woke up in a curfew
O god I was a prisoner too yeah
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality eh
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss
All that we got it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
I said
Burnin' and a
Anyway
And we doing nothing
