Beds Are Burning

about

This iconic track written by Midnight Oil has long been a favourite of mine since my early teenage years. I hope our production has done the original justice.

lyrics

Om Mani Padme Hum

Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fairs fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A facts a fact
It belongs to them
Let’s give it back

Om Mani Padme Hum

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How can 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 fairs 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 fairs fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A facts a fact
It belongs to them
Let’s give it back

Om Mani Padme Hum

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 fairs fair
To pay the rent now
To pay our share
The time has come
A facts 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
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

Om Mani Padme Hum

Bear Dogz Sydney, Australia

I’m a singer songwriter healing the shame of childhood sexual abuse through music & film by speaking about & singing about issues that are usually kept hidden from society. When we share our stories & emotions we are able to move beyond the feelings of shame; literally to hide from oneself and others. We connect through the pain we all feel at different periods of our lives & transmute it to joy. ... more
