Beds Are Burning Songtext
von Julia Stone

Try, try talk loud, who they are
What we gonna do?
They don′t listen, they don't listen, they don′t listen
Try, try talk loud, who they are
What we gonna do?
They don't listen, they don't listen

Our weather overbroke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Olden 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?

They don′t listen, they don't listen, they don′t listen


The time has come, to say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now to pay our share
What you gonna do when your house is burning?
We burn grass when it properly dry
But what we gonna do when the whole world fry?
They don′t listen, they don't listen, they don't listen

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kindoor 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


We should raid it and pillage it
We should raid it and pillage it
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
What you gonna do when your house is burning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
They don′t listen, they don't listen, they don′t listen
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
What we gonna do when the whole world fry?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
They don't listen, they don′t listen, they don't listen
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?
What we gonna do when the world is fried?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
