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 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'

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 Yuendemu

The western desert

lives and breathes

in forty-five degrees

The time has come

to say fair's fair

to pay the rent

ah, 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 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'

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 turnin'

how do we sleep

while our beds are burnin'
