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 your share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to us
So give it back
Nthakenhe anwerne urnte-tyenhe
ahelhe akngelheme-nge?
Nthakenhe anwerne ankwe inteme
antyeme ure-le ampe-lenge?
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
Now to pay your 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 your share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to us
So give it back
Nthakenhe anwerne urnte-tyenhe
ahelhe akngelheme-nge?
Nthakenhe anwerne ankwe inteme
antyeme ure-le ampe-lenge?
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent now
To pay your share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to us
Now give it back!
Nthakenhe anwerne urnte-tyenhe
ahelhe akngelheme-nge?
Nthakenhe anwerne ankwe inteme
antyeme ure-le ampe-lenge?
