Lyrics Burnin' and Lootin' (Live Version) - The Wailers , 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.
(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)
Burnin'
all
illusion
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.
Eh!
Weeping
and
a-wailin'
tonight;
(Who
can
stop
the
tears?)
Weeping
and
a-wailin'
tonight;
(We've
been
suffering
these
long,
long-a
years!)
Weeping
and
a-wailin'
tonight
(Will
you
say
cheer?)
Weeping
and
a-wailin'
tonight
(But
where?)
Give
me
the
food
and
let
me
grow;
Let
the
Roots
Man
take
a
blow.
I
must
say:
all
them
- all
them
drugs
gonna
make
you
slow;
It's
not
the
music
of
the
ghetto.
We
gonna
be
burning
and
a-looting
tonight;
(To
survive,
yeah!)
Burning
and
a-looting
tonight;
(Save
your
baby
lives)
Burning
all
pollution
tonight;
(Pollution,
yeah,
yeah!)
Burning
all
illusion
tonight
(Lord-a,
Lord-a,
Lord-a,
Lord!)
Burning
and
a-looting
tonight;
Burning
and
a-looting
tonight;
Burning
all
pollution
tonight.
