[VERSE 1:]
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees
The time h
as come
To say fai
r's fair
To pay the
rent
To pay our
share
The time h
as come
A fact's a
fact
It belongs
to them
Let's give
it back
[CHORUS:] (little riff)
How can we dan
ce when our ea
-----
rth is turning
How do we slee
p while our be
ds are burning
How can we dan
ce when our ea
-----
rth is turning
How do we slee
p while our be
ds are burning
[END-CHORUS]
The time has c
ome to say fai
rs fair
to pay the ren
t, now to pay
our share
[LAST VERSE:]
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
>From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
[Chorus]
