Beds Are Burning Lyrics

Out where the river broke
The blood wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty-five degreesThe 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 backHow 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 burningThe time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent now to pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintyre East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and
Breathes in forty-five degreesThe 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 backHow 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 burningThe 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 backHow can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
