Burnin’ And Lootin’ / Cordão Da Insônia

[Verse 1]
This morning I woke up in a curfew
Oh lord, I was a prisoner, yeah
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality, yeah

[Verse 2]
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss, yeah
All that we got, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we going to be

[Chorus 1]
Burning and a-looting tonight
Say we going to burn and loot
Burning and a-looting tonight
We can stop right the tears now
Burning and a-looting tonight
On and on and on and on and on
Burning and a-looting tonight

[Verse 3]
Give me the food and let me grow
Let the Roots Man take control
All them drugs gonna make you slow now
It's not the music of the ghetto

[Chorus 2]
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
We can stop right the tears now
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
On and on and on and on and on
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
Weeping and a-wailing tonight

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Dorme, dorme babilônia
Quanto mais quietinha fica
Mais aumenta a insônia
E desperta a retina
Mais atiça a procura
Ao silêncio que inspira
E que pelo ar flutua
Sussurrando pr'onde ir

[Verse 5]
Vou saindo pela rua
Deixo o som me conduzir
Saio no cordão da insônia
Num bocejo que faz rir
Vou sem medo de altura
Sem perigo de cair
Dorme, dorme Babilônia
Faz meu sonho existir

[Verse 4]
Dorme, dorme babilônia
Quanto mais quietinha fica
Mais aumenta a insônia
E desperta a retina
Mais atiça a procura
Ao silêncio que inspira
E que pelo ar flutua
Sussurrando pr'onde ir

[Verse 5]
Vou saindo pela rua
Deixo o som me conduzir
Saio no cordão da insônia
Num bocejo que faz rir
Vou sem medo de altura
Sem perigo de cair
Dorme, dorme Babilônia
Faz meu sonho existir
