Beds are Burning

Out where the river broke The bloodwood and the desert oak Holden wrecks and boilin' 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 and to pay our share Four wheels scare the cockatoos From Kintore, east to Yuendumu 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 (the time has come) A fact's a fact (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 and to pay our share The time has come, a fact's a fact It belongs to them, well now, let's give it back How can we dance when our earth is turnin'? How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?
