  1. Beds Are Burning - Midnight Oil

    "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 Yuendumu
    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

    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

    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 turning?
    How do we sleep
    While our beds are burning?"
