Beds Are Burning - Lyrics
Out where the river broke
The blood-wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty-five degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
Now 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 fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent now
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We're gonna give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

My ol man was diagnosed with cancer in 2015. He fell in love with this song in his last months. This was the last song he heard before cancer claimed his life
He felt the sorrow of our stupid collective selfishness...your dad was a noble man...
Spooky, i was diagnosed with bowel cancer last year,two major operations and I'm still here listening to this great track !
God bless your dad ! ❤❤

The way Peter dances (should I say moves?) is totally unique. Cool.
His moves come out of him from his passion about the topic. He’s a rad guy.. was in government
His moves were my go to shit on the dance floor.
it belongs to them, lets give it back!!!!!!!!
You know you’re listening to magic when 40 years later it’s still relevant and sends chills down your spine
"Beds Are Burning" is a 1987 song by the Australian rock band Midnight Oil, the first track from their album Diesel and Dust. This song was released as the second single from the album. It reached No. 1 in New Zealand, South Africa and Canada, No. 3 in the Netherlands, No. 5 in France, No. 6 in the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland, No. 17 in the United States and Sweden. It is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and it was named number 95 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s and number 97 by the Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time in 2009. In May 2001, Australasian Performing Right Association celebrated its 75th anniversary by naming the Best Australian Songs of all time, as decided by a 100 strong industry panel. "Beds Are Burning" was declared third behind the Easybeats' "Friday on My Mind" and Daddy Cool's "Eagle Rock"
I like the song buts it's a propaganda piece
The chorus is probably the greatest thing i've ever heard in my life.

@izaacbanks3337 no it isn't
This song will never lose its relevance. It's timeless.
Midnight Oil 🛢
Hell yeah song jams….
I wish there could be a time when it would lose relevance because things have finally been made right. Unfortunately it probably never will be.
My opinion as well. Much like The Clash "Know your rights" It's become even more relevant today.
Oh it's about to lose it's relevance. Only 6000 Australian aboriginals remain. The rest are all mixed with whites. In 100 years there will be no Aboriginal Australians. Just 99% white people. There will be nobody to give it back to.
Multiculturalism is the graveyard of diversity.
Note to future generations never let this song die
Yes I agree
Gotcha bro
Don't let billionaires extract resources for free, tax the bastards, make them pay !

I REMEMBER BACK IN 1985...DANCING TO THIS WAS SO AWSOME!!I WAS 24 THEN...I'M 63 NOW & STILL LISTENING TO IT!!!
61 and I still remember this. I was in a band in the States and we covered this. Knew exactly what they were singing about, too. Yet another western Native exploitation and land grabbing story. The song has a great beat and it really stood for something. It is so sad things are basically the same in every western new world country. This song calls attention to it in Australia.
Me too 🎶
To the future generations... DON'T LET THIS SONG DIE !!!
One of the greatest songs ever. The lyrics, the tempo, the attitude, it's all there.

The chorus always sounds incredible and moving no matter how many times you hear this song
Australia wasn't stolen. It was conqeured. We're not giving anything back.
Yes, it's one of the most remarkable choruses/refrains in popular music history in my opinion. I usually find verses and bridges more appealing than choruses/refrains.
I just have the choir as a ringtone
It’s the passion in the way he sings it,! Brilliant…… I gives me a rush up my spine! Loving life 😎
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix

The chorus is one of the best chorus of recent musical history
I would not consider it recent but yeah it is good

With the meaning of this song, it is, and will be recent, because people are doing shit about it.

Same album, Warakurna: » this land must change or land must burn « ... :-((((
I am and had this in my collection when it came out ! Fantastic song...blasted it and danced! 👍🎵❤️
Oh yes this is true today. Am 71 now; I danced to this at "Danceaway" in California.
Same here! But not in Cali, lol
A one of a kind band. Thank you for standing up for indigenous rights!
& starting a race war. Leftist ideologues need to be held accountable for the damage their deluded ideas do. Well, let's start with tearing down all buildings, sewage systems, bridges, tunnels - cos that's what the white man built
A great piece of art.
❤AMOO Beds Are Burning es un Temazo 2022
Then giving them the finger for joining the mining companies
the aboriginal people have sold the mining rights to a lot of the land they did get given. they spat in the face of midnight oil who has had big hand in a lot of things. hence the reason no more songs lol
One of the most "POWERFUL, HAUNTING, song and videos of all time...This is why I absolutely love the 80's...👏👏👏

Peter Garrett was the singer in Midnight Oil. He is no longer with the band. He served two terms as president of the Australian Conservation Foundation. In his first term, from 1989 to 1993, significant results were achieved for many threatened areas of the Australian environment including Coronation Hill in Kakadu, Shoalwater Bay in Queensland, the Queensland Wet Tropics rainforest and Jervis Bay in NSW. In his second term, the ACF grew strongly, developed partnerships with non-government organisations, progressive business groups and companies, and expanded it's campaigning into marine conservation and northern Australia.
He received the Australian Humanitarian Foundation Award ( environment category) in 2000, and in 2003 received the Order of Australia (Member General Division) for his contribution to environment and the music industry. Dude lives what he believes.Vern Collins - Vancouver, Wa
Thank you for taking the time to give us this information. I've loved this band since my 40 yr old son listened to it in high school. Congratulations to Peter Garrett for his achievements and dedication to the causes he so passionately believes in!

This self righteous hypocrite is a clown. If the Oils actually believed in what they are preaching then why dont they give back their own multimillion dollar properties instead of telling us to do it? Why did Garret join a political party (instead of being an Independent) that burnt over 200 houses down and killed 4 people? Pink Batts anyone? Garret was responsible for that disgrace but then he gets on stage and sings this very song???? Beds are Burning? They sure were you prick.

The first time I heard this song on the radio in 1987 I instantly loved it! I was 21 at the time and had to buy the cassette ASAP. Today is my birthday (12/30) and I just now listened to it with the same love as in 1987. ❤😊🎉
Thank you for the happy birthday wishes. What an awesome surprise when I saw it early this morning! This song motivated me to become an activist and conservationist for the greater good. I have young people in my life that make fun of me while they sit and do nothing. You are right, it is sad. My hope is that maybe one day that feeling will change to happy and glad. I never give up hope.@@L._-.

Welcome to my world when I read comments about the "golden ages" of music. I am not quite fifty yet as I haven't long gone over the crest of the hill. :-)
When someone says we had not fake shit in the 80s or 90s I just throw one name out, and that is Milli Vanilli. Caused the biggest fuss at the time when it hit the news.

I totally agree with you! Most of today's music is quite garbage.
proud to be a native to this our land Australia
This song isn't exactly about national pride, though.
I'm assuming the usage of 'native' means OP is aborigine, in which case, this song is def for him. Otherwise...'native' is kind of a...strong word...

Huge Profits... From the Song
How does Garrett sleep after championing the disasterous policy that lead to 240volts burning through the organs of many young workers?
It's funny because the world's condition further deteriorated since this comment was made. It's a downward spiral.
What a song. One of my favs!
Yes. Love this song.
Dude, that last shot in this video of them playing in a completely empty plain with nothing on the horizon has got to be one of the most beautiful shots in music video history. It's pure art.
As is the accompanying superimposed shot of an aboriginal woman and her child. It is a silent accusation of how much we white folks failed both the Australian aborigines and the Native Americans here in the U-S.
@@markwoolsey5593 Speak for yourself and your own self-created guilt you live with. Every land-mass on earth has been conquered and fought over with the strongest taking control since short after the beginning of time. Have you even opened one history book in your entire life? Once course of history would be required to earn a GED. Ignorance and delusion are quite a combination Mark. Australia was a prison colony. And the thousands of tribes living and fighting in America long ago were cutting each other's hearts out, eating the organs, sacrificing animals to their respective idols, and kidnapping each other and their children, while also fighting the Spanish, The Mexicans, The French, the Portuguese, and the British who wanted the Country for themselves. Please don't talk about things you have no knowledge of other than what your own uncontrolled emotions drive you to imagine. There are thousands of African, Afghan, and Indian slaves in Libya and other Countries right now, when are you giving your money and boarding that plane to go save them out of modern day slavery?

Lead singer Peter Garrett served as Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, and as Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth.
Garrett's grandfather Tom was one of many POWs who died in the sinking of the SS Montevideo Maru, drowning 1,054 people, mostly Australian prisoners of war and civilians who were being transported from Rabaul. That sinking is considered the worst maritime disaster in Australia's history. He refers to this event in the opening line of the Earth and Sun and Moon track "In the Valley".
@@kbanghart I was aware Garrett had served in the Australian cabinet. That's powerful to have that degree of commitment. The disaster involving his granddad I had NOT heard of.

Saw them live in 1988 in NYC when all I knew was ‘Beds are Burning’ & ‘The Dead Heart’. A friend, who was a fanatic, dragged me. I was hesitant as all I knew were two songs. So thankful for him & that decision to go as I loved the show. So much energy. It felt like a locomotive train going through the Felt Forum
The ending with their silhouettes jamming out in the sunset spliced with the shots of the moon is very powerful and moving
This song is 35 years old, 35!!! And NOTHING has changed... 🥲
the clock was 12.55 and now 12.05 :-(
35 years old and still amazing
People still listen.... Still no change 😔
I hear YOU
It’s heartbreaking. We know better now. We know way more now. And it’s so heartbreaking…
I'm 55 and, if anything, it's only gotten worse!
52.5 million views! phenominal band, phenominal Aussie lyrics & Video. when I was a 19 year old man at Ngukurr Aboriginal settlement in Southeast Arnhem Land, Midnight Oil played at Numbulwar near the Gulf of Carpentaria. Half of the Ngukurr mission people left town in 4WD's during the wet season to see them perform at Numbulwar (Rose River Mission). they made a big impact on Aboriginal communities right across Australia. Still a great band. cheers all!
further to my previous comment, that was way back in late 1983 when I was 19.
Seriously never noticed that before but now that you point it out I have to wonder what kinda creepy sort of dance this is because unless hes drunk or on something its not looking normal lmao
+Jessica Kline officially its the emu or classic white man
+Aaron Paterson It's just more white guilt bullshit. I'm sick of this crap quite frankly! I am white and I am guilty of none of this shit and I took nothing from any of these people.
+DestinationUnknown29 Except the land in exchange for some booze.

It's great song. It stands clear.
Hell ya!
2023 and still no fair share paid
The world was not ready for this.
This song why? It sounds pretty esoteric to me.
James Dolan have you seen the news lately?
Hmm.. I remember when it was in heavy rotation on MTV ..it was just the exact right amount of political wokeness and catchy toe tapper/head banger.. so.. it was actually right on time.
i hope the world is ready for this now. not sure about that :/
I don't unterstand, what do you mean? Perhaps for the Covid-19 pandemia?
great music, greats songs on 80s.
Love this song!!!!
