Out where the river broke	The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling deisels steam at 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 Sesame Street to Katmandu
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

Disarm you with a smile and cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child inside of me and such a part of you
Oooh, the years burn
Oooh, the years burn, burn, burn
Just like our beds are burning
