Beds Are Burning - MIdnight Oil (Aboriginal Rights Parody)

Hey. This is a song that Kirran and I parodied for our civics assignment. The initial song is "Beds are Burning" by Midnight Oil. Good song.

We have changed the lyrics (except for the chorus) to show our feelings about aboriginal rights (and to avoid getting sued for plagiarism)

Also a thanks to Caymen Vieira for his pretty epic drum playing and his help with the performance, thanks man.

Oh and Ms. Mcleod this technically counts as a performance so you can give us an 100 now :P

P.S. All three of us had first heard this song today. We know the rhythms are wrong but as a first time performance after hearing the song once... its not that bad. And the audio is out of sync with video........... stupid youtube.

Thanks for watching :)

-Ron and Kirran

Lyrics:

Verse 1

Lookin' out, far as the eye can see
Not so sure everybody's quite so free
Somebody help, please make it stop
If nothings done, everything will flop

Chorus

The time has come
To say fairs fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

The time has come
A facts a fact
It belongs to them
Lets give it back

Bridge

When will it be when everybody is happy
When will it be when everbody is free

When will it be when everybody is happy
When will it be when everbody is free

Verse 2

Many times, we've ran and hid
Not sure where, we've placed our bid
We might fail, we might succeed
But it's finally time, to work to be freed!

Chorus

The time has come
To say fairs fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

The time has come
A facts a fact
It belongs to them
Lets give it back

Bridge

When will it be when everybody is happy
When will it be when everbody is free

When will it be when everybody is happy
When will it be when everbody is free

First of all kirran is like not even there, and

the fact that the lyrics were on the screen and not even sung, sorry but it realy took away from how deepit was, but it was still really good
