[Verse 1]
    E
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boilin' diesels
Steam in forty-five degrees

[Pre-Chorus]
      E                                      D
The time has come to say fair's fair
 A                               E
To pay the rent, to pay our share
     E                                     D
The time has come, a fact's a fact
     A                               F#
It belongs to them, let's give it back

[Chorus]
Em                                            C          G
How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?
Em                                             C           D
How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?
Em                                            C           D
How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?
Em                                           C           D
How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

[Post-Chorus]
    Em                          C
The time has come to say fair's fair
 G                                 D
To pay the rent now, to pay our share

[Verse 2]
     E
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore, east to Yuendemu
The Western Desert lives and breathes
In forty-five degrees

[Ulangi Pre-Chorus dan Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                              C
The time has come to say fair's fair

To pay the rent now, to pay our share
Em                                C
The time has come, a fact's a fact
G                                 D
It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back

Em                                     C                          G
How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?
Em                                      C                           D
How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?
