Beds Are Burning

Various Artists · Other Songs - Various Artists

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 fairs fair

To pay the rent

To pay our share

The time has come

A facts a fact

It belongs to them

Lets give it back



How can we dance when our earth is turning

How do we sleep when our beds are burning

How can we dance when our earth is turning

How do we sleep when our beds are burning



The time has come

A facts a fact

It belongs to them

Lets give it back



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 fairs fair

To pay the rent

To pay our share

The time has come

A facts a fact

It belongs to them

Lets give it back



(live - on scream in blue

The time has come

A facts a fact

It belongs to us all

Lets give it back)
