Beds Are Burning

Midnight Oil

Out where the river broke (řeka končí)
The bloodwood and the desert oak (pouštní dub)
Holden wrecks (uvíznuté vraky) and boiling diesels (vřící nafta)
Steam (pára) in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair (pravdu spravedlivému)
To pay the rent (splatit půjčku)
To pay our share (splatit díl)
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 fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos (kakadu (papoušek))
From Kintore East (část Australského pobřeží) to Yuendemu (severní Australské pobřeží)
The western desert lives and breathes
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 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'r gonna give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
