Beds Are Burning Lyrics

Artist: Midnight Oil

Beds Are Burning
Midnight Oil

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
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
>From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

Outstanding songwriters and a band with a higher purpose.
The world needs Midnight Oil to return to the limelight to help stop the power driven, greedy S.O.B.'s from destroying us all.
Peace and prosperity on Earth in 2009 to everyone.

Midnight Oil with Hunters & Collectors is the only concert that I ever went to. Love their music, cerebral, political and enlightened.
