[verse 1]
Am Dm Am
This morning I woke up in a curfew;
Am Dm E
Oh God, I was a prisoner, too - yeah!
Am Dm Am
Could not recognize the faces standing over me;
Am Dm E
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality. Eh!

Am Dm Am
How many rivers do we have to cross,
Am Dm E
Before we can talk to the boss? Eh!
Am Dm Am
All of we got, it seems we have lost;
Am Dm E
We must have really paid the cost. (That's why we gonna be)


[chorus 1]
Am Dm Am Am
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (Say we gonna burn and loot)
Am Dm Am
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (One more thing)
Am Dm Am
Burnin' all pollution tonight (Oh, yeah, yeah)
Am Dm Am
Burnin' all illusion tonight.
Oh, stop them!


[verse 2]
Am Dm Am
Give me the food and let me grow
Am Dm E
Let the Roots man take a blow.
Am Dm Am
All them drugs gonna make you slow now
Am Dm E
It's not the music of the ghetto. Eh!

[chorus 2]
Am Dm Am
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight (Who can stop the tears?)
Am Dm Am
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight (We've been suffering these long, long-a years!)
Am Dm Am
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight (Will you say cheer?)
Am Dm Am
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight (But where?)


[verse 2]
Am Dm Am
Give me the food and let me grow
Am Dm E
Let the roots man take a blow. (I must say –)
Am Dm Am
All them, all them drugs gonna make you slow
Am Dm E
It's not the music from the ghetto. (We gonna be)

[chorus 1]
Am Dm Am
burning and a-looting tonight (To survive, yeah!)
Am Dm Am
Burning and a-looting tonight (Save your baby lives)
Am Dm Am
Burning all pollution tonight (Pollution, yeah, yeah!)
Am Dm Am
Burning all illusion tonight (Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord!)

[Outro - Fade out]
Am Dm Am
Burning and a-looting tonight
Am Dm Am
Burning and a-looting tonight
Am Dm Am
Burning all pollution tonight.
