| | Beds are Burning Lyrics Artist(Band):Midnight Oil
The blood wood 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 fair's 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 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're gonna give it back How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning If you find some error in Beds are Burning Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Beds are Burning fire | Reviewer: Tony | 1/18/09 the song is about returning stolen lands in Australia to the aboriginies. 45 dgrees is indeed in celcius and is the temp of the desert at its peak. The line above "Fire will scare the cockatoos" is wrong however. The real lyrics is "Four wheels scares the cockatoos" T forty five degrees | Reviewer: Joe | 6/30/08 A note about the lyrics - where it mentions "forty five degrees", that's probably Celsius, which is the temperature scale used in Australia and most other countries outside the U.S. That works out to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. A Protest Song too! | Reviewer: Allie (fellow rock lover) | 5/29/08 I love this song, and have always loved it from the time I first heard it, but I never knew it was a protest song until today and it really hits home now!g Giving native Australian lands back to the Pintupi Aborigines is totally a cause worth writing a song for!!! Katie, I shun rap as well. It is NOT music nor can it be called singing! It disgraces the music industry. Remember: Country + Rap = CRAP. But rap makes up 3/4 of that! ROCK ON!!! | Reviewer: Katie (rock N roll lover) | 4/4/08 This is my FAVORITE song!!! I love Rock N Roll more than anything!!! and i shun rap!!! SHUN!!!! I have no idea if this song was about a child's death, or Australia or what ever, but keep playing rock and i'll be happy :) he's right | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/17/07 this song has nothing to do with a child's death...mauricio is right, it is about the Aboriginal people of Australia and how when the English settlers colonised Australia, they stole all the Aboriginals land and "native title". The song is protesting to try and get the government to return the land to the Native people of Australia. Are you crazy? | Reviewer: Mauricio | 5/28/07 This is a great political song about giving native Australian lands back, not about a child's death. emily wilson | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/18/07 did you know that in the 1980s some guy lit his child on fire and he died that is what this songs about they raised money for him by making this song awwwwww so sad .....
