Heads are Burning

Heads are Burning

Out where the river dried
The farms and the desert fried
Human wrecks and boiling birds
Dying in forty five degrees

The time has come

To clear the air
To stop the gas

To do our share

The time has come

A fact’s a fact

Too much C02

Let’s bring it back

How can we dance when our world is heating

How do we sleep when our earth is burning
How can we dance when our world is heating

How do we sleep when our earth is burning

The time has come to say fair’s fair
To clear the air, now to do our share

Big engines suck the fossil fuel

From New York to Katmandu

The whole world melts and heats

Slow death by degrees

The time has come

To clear the air
To stop the gas

To do our share

The time has come

A fact’s a fact

Too much C02

Let’s bring it back

How can we dance when our world is heating

How do we sleep when our earth is burning
How can we dance when our world is heating

How do we sleep when our earth is burning

The time has come to say fair’s fair
To clear the air, now to do our share

The time has come, a fact’s a fact

Too much C02, let’s bring it back

How can we dance when our world is heating

How do we sleep when our earth is burning


(With apologies to Midnight Oil, and their song, Beds are Burning, but not to Peter Garrett who has sold out on global warming and the role of coal mining in Australia to the problem)
