Beds Are Burning

Out where the river broke

The bloodwood and the desert oak

Holden wrecks and boiling diesels

Steam in 45 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 turnin'?

How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?

How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

The time has come to say fair's fair

To pay the rent now, to pay our share

The four wheels scare the cockatoos

From Kintore East to Yuendemu

The western desert lives and breathes

In 45 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 turnin'?

How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?

How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

The time has come to say fair's fair

To pay the rent now, to pay our share

The time has come, a fact's a fact

It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?

How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?
