Bob Marley - Burnin' & Lootin' (La Haine BOF) putain 30 ans !

Il y a trente ans, le 11 mai 1981 Bob Marley mourrait. J'ai choisi le morceau Burnin' & Lootin' pour commémorer cette date.

La première vidéo est le générique du film de Mathieu Kassovitz La Haine, sorti en 1995 montrant des images d'archives d'émeutes en France. La deuxième version est une version live.

This morning I woke up in a curfew
Oh god, I was a prisonir too, yeah
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality, eahy!
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss
All of we've got it's seems we have lost
We must subreally pay the cost

Dat's why we gonna be
Burnin' and lootin' tonight (chorus)
I say, we gonna burn and a loot
Burnin' and lootin' tonight (chorus)
One more thing
Burning and pollution tonight (chorus)
Oh, yeah, yeah
Burning all illution tonight (chorus)
Oh, stop them

Give me the food and let me grow
Let the rootman take a blow, yeah
All dem drugs gonna make you slow, now
It's not the music of the ghetto

Weeping and a wailing tonight (chorus)
Uh, can't stop the tears
Weeping and a wailing tonight (chorus)
We've been so freak this long, long years
Weeping and a wailing to night (chorus)
Will you say cheer
Weeping and a wailing to night (chorus)
But where?

Give me the food and let me grow
Let the rootman take a blow, eahy!
I say, all, all dem drugs gonna make you slow
It's not the music of the ghetto

We gonna be
Burnin' and lootin' to night (chorus)
To survive, yeah
Burnin' and lootin' to night (chorus)
Safe your baby life
Burning and pollution to night (chorus)
Pollution, get out there
Burning all illution to night (chorus)
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Burnin' and lootin' tonight (chorus)
Burnin' and lootin' tonight (chorus)
Burning and pollution tonight (chorus)
