[Verse 1] Out where the river broke The bloodwood and the desert oak Holden wrecks and boilin' diesels Steam in forty-five degrees [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] How can we dance when our earth is turnin'? How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'? How can we dance when our earth is turnin'? How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'? [Post-Chorus] The time has come to say fair's fair To pay the rent now, to pay our share [Verse 2] Four wheels scare the cockatoos From Kintore, east to Yuendemu The Western Desert lives and breathes In forty-five degrees [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] How can we dance when our earth is turnin'? How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'? How can we dance when our earth is turnin'? How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'? [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Outro] How can we dance when our earth is turnin'? How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?
