Best Answer

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 fairs 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....

seacrets	Posted Oct 22nd, 2009 at 9:11AM Midnight oil - I lived in a commune once and it was very cold one night so I went to bed early with my electric blanket on, the other inmates were having a party with the song HOW CAN YOU SLEEP WHILE YOUR BEDS ARE BURNING on full volume, and my bed caught fire - I was yelling my beds burning - they thought I was joking. After putting the fire out my bed was all wet - so I could not sleep and partyed on all night. Rated: +1Vote for this!
