[Eb] [Gb] [Ab] [Eb]
Out where the river broke, the blood would and the desert oak,
Cold wrecks and barn dissolves, steam and bottles of grease.
The time has come to save face-lift, to pay the rent, to pay our share.
The time has come, our backs are back, it [Ab] belongs to them, [Eb]
[F] let's do it back.
[Eb] [Gb] [Ab] [Ebm]
How can we dance [B] when our earth is [Gb] burning?

Far we'll stare at the cockatoos, from Kentar East to Kayonga Boo,
The western desert lives and breathes in 45 degrees.
The time has come to save face-lift, to pay [Ab] the rent, [Eb]
to pay our share.
The time has come, our backs are back, it belongs to them, [N] let's give it [Eb] back.
