'BEDS ARE BURNING'

Lyrics

Out where the river broke 
The blood wood and the desert oak 
Holden wrecks and bulling diesels 
Team 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 cock a toes 
From kintore east to yuende muthe 
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 
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 
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?
