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 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: (little riff)
Em C G E -----3--3--3--5----3
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
Em C G E -----3--3--3--5----3
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
END-CHORUS:
The time has come to say fairs fair
to pay the rent, 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:
END-CHORUS:
HALF of CHORUS:
then horn solo over end-chorus chords:
END:
