Beds Are Burning

Out where the river broke,
The bloodwood and the desert oak,
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels,
Steam in forty five degrees,
The time has come, to say fair's fair,
To pay the rent, to pay our share,
The time has come, a fact's a fact,
It belongs to them, let's give it back,
How can we dance when our earth is turning,
How do we sleep while our beds are burning,
How can we dance when our earth is turning,
How do we sleep while our beds are burning,
The time has come, to say fair's fair,
To pay the rent, to pay our share,
Four wheels scare the cockatoos,
From Kintore East to Yuendemu,
The western desert lives and breathes,
In forty five degrees,
The time has come, to say fair's fair,
To pay the rent, to pay our share,
The time has come, a fact's a fact,
It belongs to them, let's give it back,
(Let's give it back...)
How can we dance when our earth is turning,
How do we sleep while our beds are burning,

The time has come, to say fair's fair,

How do we sleep while our beds are burning,
