[Intro] Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm E E Am Dm Am Am Am Dm Am Am [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) 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! 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.
