Lyrics
Out where the ri ver broke,
the Blood Wood and the De sert Oak.
Hold en wrecks and boil ing die sels; steam in for ty five de grees.
The (F)time has come
to (Eb)say fair’s fair,
to (Bb)pay the rent,
to (F)pay our share.
The (F)time has come,
a (Eb)fact’s a fact,
it be (Bb)longs to them;
let’s (G)give it back.
(Fm)How can we dance when our (Db)earth is turn ing?
(Fm)How do we sleep while our (Db)beds are burn ing?
(Fm)How can we dance when our (Db)earth is turn ing?
(Fm)How do we sleep while our (Db)beds are burn ing?
