Peter Garrett and Midnight Oil are using their power to push their latest passion - street kids. A few weeks ago, the Oils toured the country, singing to raise money for these children. But Peter Garrett isn't the kind of crusader who throws a few concerts, then forgets his cause. Jennifer Byrne spent time with Garrett on the streets to find out just how he wants the money spent; meeting the youngsters he wants to help. It's estimated more than 50,000 children across Australia are living on the streets - and as Garrett tells Byrne, 'With the recession, it's turned from a problem into an epidemic.' Garrett says the answer to the problem is not simply throwing money at it; it's ...

Watching the parade on the news last night
I was one that walked that road before
When everything feels like its crumbling
Like the writing's on the wall
But dreams are broken, mended and they scatter
Like seeds they fall and then the fruit is gathered
It always was and always will, be a struggle to fulfil
Stay strong and heed the call
It still matters to me
I hope it matters to you
First principles: concrete action reconciliation no more talking fix the system stop keep it strong and give it purpose stop complaining look at nurses. No material privation in the fine open cut nation blinded by the infant me whose appetite is never filled, whose appetite is never filled till every living thing is killed the selfish few still fight for more in a planet smashing selfish war
We all take an escalator to that Woolies in the sky
To reprise Dante's inferno no longer in disguise
Across a windswept open plain some still go against the grain against the waste the opulence, subtle sneaking creeping up on ya. Breaking bread on the riverbank washing nappies at the water tank, happy clappy days are numbered, tumblr grindr drag you under, mixed emotions cost us dearly years of self-absorption really, electric cars and white gazebos, gadgets that can't save our world where one side has an excavator the other has a wooden spoon, self-centered slick celebrities are crowding out the room, it is obvious inglorious self-evident laborious so tame this monster once and for all, name it shame it rearrange it so the dream becomes the real and we can feel and we can see
Now in this moment we oppose it we'll deplore it we'll repose it reimagine recompose, make it happen now make it close
This is dignity, there is hope, there is light at the end of the road, And it still matters to me I hope it matters to you

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

But Peter Garrett isn't the kind of crusader who throws a few concerts, then forgets his cause. Jennifer Byrne spent time with Garrett on the streets to find out just how he wants the money spent; meeting the youngsters he wants to help. It's estimated more than 50,000 children across Australia are living on the streets - and as Garrett tells Byrne, 'With the recession, it's turned from a problem into an epidemic.' Garrett says the answer to the problem is not simply throwing money at it; it's not short term refuges. What's needed is a network of homes where the homeless can live for as long as it takes to get back on their feet, find a job and re-enter society. Garrett says the alternative is a recipe for disaster - 'If you scrap heap people, they'll turn your society into a scrap heap.'

Stay strong and heed the call

Across a windswept open plain some still go against the grain against the waste the opulence, subtle sneaking creeping up on ya. Breaking bread on the riverbank washing nappies at the water tank, happy clappy days are numbered, tumblr grindr drag you under, mixed emotions cost us dearly years of self-absorption really, electric cars and white gazebos, gadgets that can't save our world where one side has an excavator the other has a wooden spoon, self-centered slick celebrities are crowding out the room, it is obvious inglorious self-evident laborious so tame this monster once and for all, name it shame it rearrange it so the dream becomes the real and we can feel and we can see
