This morning i woke up in a curfew
O god, i was a prisoner, too (too)
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality
How many rivers do we have to cross (how many...)
Before we can talk to the boss? (talk to the boss)
All that we got, it seems we have lost (it seems we have lost)
We must have really paid the cost
He goona be
Burning and looting tonight
Burning and looting tonight (oh)
Burning all pollution tonight
Burning all illusion tonight (oh)
Give me the food and let me grow (let me grow)
I let the roots man take a blow (take a blow, take a blow)
I let my choices gonna make you slow
It's not the music of the ghetto (oh)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
(who can stop the tears?)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
(we've been suffering these long, long years!)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (oh)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
(will you say cheer?)
Weeping... wailing tonight
(but where?)
