Текст песни Beds Are Burning, Midnight Oil

00:00
Out where the river broke
the blood wood and the desert oak

Holden wrecks and boiling diesels steam in fourty-five degrees.

The time has come to say fair s fair

To pay the rent
to pay our share.
The time has come
a tact 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
to pay our share.
Four wheels scare the cockatoos from Kintyre East to Yuendemu.
The western desert lives and breathes in fourty-five degrees.

The time has come to say fair s fair
. . .
How can we dance when our earth is turning? . . .
The time has come to say fair s fair
. . .

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
