MIDNIGHT OIL - Beds Are Burning lyrics

rate me

Out where the river broke<br>The bloodwood and the desert oak<br>Holden wrecks and boiling diesels<br>Steam in forty five degrees<br><br>The time has come<br>To say fair's fair<br>To pay the rent<br>To pay our share<br>The time has come<br>A fact's a fact<br>It belongs to them<br>Let's give it back<br><br>How can we dance when our earth is turning<br>How do we sleep when our beds are burning<br><br>Four wheels scare the cockatoos<br>From kintore east to yuendemu<br>The western desert lives and breathes<br>In forty five degrees<br><br>(live - on scream in blue<br>The time has come<br>A fact's a fact<br>It belongs to us all<br>Let's give it back)
