Forty Five degrees Celsius (about 105 F)...You know, I just recently got this! I'm such a ethnocentric American - doesn't everyone uses Fahrenheit? I thought it kind of weird they were saying 45 F was hot.

It's a lyric only this version! Thank you Midnight Oil and David Rios

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
Lets give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep when our beds are burn...

...
It belongs to them
Lets give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep when our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fairs fair
To pay the rent
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
Lets give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep when our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep when our beds are burning

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
Lets give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep when our beds are burning
