Beds Are Burning

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 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, now
 To pay our share
 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
 To pay our share
 The time has come
 A fact's a fact
 It belongs to them
 Let's give it back
