Beds Are Burning

Out where the river broke

The blood wood and the desert oak

Holden wrecks and boiling diesels

Steam in fourty-five degrees

The time has come

to say fair's fair

To pay the rent,

to pay the 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 the share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos

From Kintyre East to Yuendemu

The wetsren desert lives and

Breathes in fourty-five degrees.

The time has come

to say fair's fair

To pay the rent

to pay the 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....

How can we dance....
