Beds Are Burning

In the style of

Midnight Oil

Lyrics

out where
the river broke
the bloodwood
and the desert oak

holden wrecks and
boiling diesels
steam 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 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 forty-five
degrees

the time has come
to say fair's fair
to pay the rent
ah to pay our share

the time has come
wow 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'
