Originalmente uma canção política sobre a reconquista de terras do povo Pintupi, os aborígenes australianos, “Beds are burning” foi repaginada em 2009 e virou hino de uma campanha sobre mudança climática. Mais de 60 artistas, como Fergie, Lily Allen, Simon Le Bon (vocalista do Duran Duran) e Bob Geldof, gravaram uma versão da música do Midnight Oil para a Cúpula do Clima em Copenhague, a COP15. A canção provoca com o refrão “como podemos dançar enquanto a Terra está mudando? Como podemos dormir enquanto nossas camas pegam fogo?” Clique aqui para ouvir a versão ambiental feita em 2009.
Beds are burning – Midnight Oil
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 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 fairs 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, let’s give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
