Am Dm Am Am
This morning I woke up in a curfew
Am Dm E E
Oh god, I was a prisoner too - yeah
Am Dm Am Am
Could not recognise the faces standing over me
Am Dm E E
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality - eh
Am Dm Am Am
How many rivers do we have to cross
Am Dm E E
Before we can talk to the boss
Am Dm Am Am
All that we got seems lost
Am Dm E E
We must have really paid the cost (That's why we gonna be)
Am Dm Am Am
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (Say we gonna burn and loot)
Am Dm Am Am
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (One more thing)
Chorus:
Am Dm Am Am
Burnin all pollution tonight (Oh yeah, yeah)
Am Dm Am Am
Burning all illusions tonight (Oh stop them )
Am Dm Am Am
Give me the food and let me grow
Am Dm E E
Let the roots man take a blow
Am Dm Am Am
All them drugs gonna make you slow now
Am Dm E E
It's not the music of the ghetto
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (Ooh can't stop the tears)
Chorus: 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)
Chorus: Burning all pollution tonight
Burning all illusions tonight
Burnin and lootin tonight
Burnin and lootin tonight
