A fact's a fact
A fact's a fact
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
How can we dance

How do we sleep

In forty five degrees
It belongs to them

Let's give it back
Let's give it back
Now to pay our share
Steam in forty five degrees
The bloodwood and the desert oak
The time has come
The time has come
The time has come
The time has come
The time has come
The time has come
The time has come
The western desert lives and breathes
To pay our share

To pay the rent
To pay the rent now
To say fair's fair
We're gonna give it back
When our earth is turning
When our earth is turning
When our earth is turning
While our beds are burning
While our beds are burning
While our beds are burning
While our beds are burning
