Lyrics
Oo la la
Oh yeh yeh
Oooooo
Burnin and a lootin tonight
Burnin and a lotion tonight
This mornin I woke up in a curfew
Oh god I was a prisoner too
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
All dressed in uniforms of brutality
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss
All we got it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That’s why we are
Burnin and a lootin tonight
Burnin and a lootin tonight
To survive
Burnin and a lootin tonight
Burnin and a lootin tonight
To survive
Eeee
Yeh
Give me the food and let me grow
Let the rootsman take a blow
All them drugs gon make you slow now slow down slow now
This ain’t the music of the ghetto
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss
All we got it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That’s why we are
Burnin and a lootin tonight
Burnin and a lootin tonight
To survive
Burnin and a lootin tonight
weepin and a wailing tonight
weepin and a wailing tonight, tonight, tonight
weepin and a wailing tonight
Burnin all illusions tonight, to survive
yehh
Burnin and a lootin tonight
Burnin and a lootin tonight
Burnin and a lootin tonight
Burn it down to the ground
Right down right down right down
