Beds Are Burning - Lyrics
Out where the river broke
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

Oh it's about to lose it's relevance. Only 6000 Australian aboriginals remain. The rest are all mixed with whites. In 100 years there will be no Aboriginal Australians. Just 99% white people. There will be nobody to give it back to. Multiculturalism is the graveyard of diversity.

"Beds Are Burning" is a 1987 song by the Australian rock band Midnight Oil, the first track from their album Diesel and Dust. This song was released as the second single from the album. It reached No. 1 in New Zealand, South Africa and Canada, No. 3 in the Netherlands, No. 5 in France, No. 6 in the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland, No. 17 in the United States and Sweden. It is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and it was named number 95 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s and number 97 by the Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time in 2009. In May 2001, Australasian Performing Right Association celebrated its 75th anniversary by naming the Best Australian Songs of all time, as decided by a 100 strong industry panel. "Beds Are Burning" was declared third behind the Easybeats' "Friday on My Mind" and Daddy Cool's "Eagle Rock"

Peter Garrett was the singer in Midnight Oil. He is no longer with the band. He served two terms as president of the Australian Conservation Foundation. In his first term, from 1989 to 1993, significant results were achieved for many threatened areas of the Australian environment including Coronation Hill in Kakadu, Shoalwater Bay in Queensland, the Queensland Wet Tropics rainforest and Jervis Bay in NSW. In his second term, the ACF grew strongly, developed partnerships with non-government organisations, progressive business groups and companies, and expanded it's campaigning into marine conservation and northern Australia. He received the Australian Humanitarian Foundation Award ( environment category) in 2000, and in 2003 received the Order of Australia (Member General Division) for his contribution to environment and the music industry. Dude lives what he believes.Vern Collins - Vancouver, Wa

Half of the Ngukurr mission people left town in 4WD's during the wet season to see them perform at Numbulwar (Rose River Mission). they made a big impact on Aboriginal communities right across Australia. Still a great band. cheers all!

As is the accompanying superimposed shot of an aboriginal woman and her child. It is a silent accusation of how much we white folks failed both the Australian aborigines and the Native Americans here in the U-S.

@@markwoolsey5593 Speak for yourself and your own self-created guilt you live with. Every land-mass on earth has been conquered and fought over with the strongest taking control since short after the beginning of time. Have you even opened one history book in your entire life? Once course of history would be required to earn a GED. Ignorance and delusion are quite a combination Mark. Australia was a prison colony. And the thousands of tribes living and fighting in America long ago were cutting each other's hearts out, eating the organs, sacrificing animals to their respective idols, and kidnapping each other and their children, while also fighting the Spanish, The Mexicans, The French, the Portuguese, and the British who wanted the Country for themselves. Please don't talk about things you have no knowledge of other than what your own uncontrolled emotions drive you to imagine. There are thousands of African, Afghan, and Indian slaves in Libya and other Countries right now, when are you giving your money and boarding that plane to go save them out of modern day slavery?

@@markwoolsey5593 Lead singer Peter Garrett served as Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, and as Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth. Garrett's grandfather Tom was one of many POWs who died in the sinking of the SS Montevideo Maru, drowning 1,054 people, mostly Australian prisoners of war and civilians who were being transported from Rabaul. That sinking is considered the worst maritime disaster in Australia's history. He refers to this event in the opening line of the Earth and Sun and Moon track "In the Valley".
