[E]
Out where the river flung, the bloody war at the Gazzanope.
Hold the rags and pile of diesel, Stephen Vaughn you fight breeze.
The time has come to save this land, to pay the rent, to pay our share.
The time has come, the facts are back, it belongs to the dead, [F#] let's give it back.
[E] [G] [A]
[Em] How can we dance [C] when our earth is [G] turning?
[Em] How can we sleep [C] while our beds are [D] burning?

[Em] How can we dance [C] when our earth is [G] turning?
[Em] How can we sleep [C] while our beds are [D] burning?

[E]
The fire will scare the cockatoo, in the east, the west, the desert, lives and breathes, butterfied grief.
The time has come to save this land, to pay the rent, to pay our share.
The time has come, [Em] the facts are back, [E] it belongs to the dead, [C#] let's give [E] it back.
