Lyrics
Out where the riv er broke,
the blood wood and the des ert oak.
Hol den wrecks and boil ing die sels steam in for ty five de grees.
The (E)time has come
to (D)say fair’s fair,
to (A)pay the rent,
to (E)pay our share.
The time has come,
a (D)fact’s a fact.
It be (A)longs to them,
let’s (F#)give it back.
(Em)How can we dance when our (C)earth is turn ing?
(Em)How do we sleep while our (C)beds are burn ing?
(Em)How can we dance when our (C)earth is turn ing?
(Em)How do we sleep while our (C)beds are burn ing?
The (Em)time has come to (C)say fair’s fair, to (G)pay our rent now, to (D)pay our share.
Four wheels scare the cock a toos
from Kin tore East to Yuen de mu.
The west ern des ert lives and breathes in for ty five de grees.
The (E)time has come
to (D)say fair’s fair,
to (A)pay the rent,
to (E)pay our share.
The time has come,
a (D)fact’s a fact.
It be (A)longs to them,
let’s (CN.C.)give it back.
(G)pay the rent now, to (D)pay our share.
The (Em)time has come, a (C)fact’s a fact.
It be (G)longs to them, we’re gon na (D)give it back.
(Em)How can we dance when our (C)earth is turn ing?
(Em)How do we sleep while our
(C)beds are burn ing?
