We Can Turn It Aroundmusic: Lluís Llach (L'Estaca); words: MuninaWe thought all that we do is good,So we can do what we want.But then in Abu Ghraib, Iraq, It turned out—yes we couldSome say we lost our face and faith, Some say we lost our wayOnce a model for all the world,Our freedoms and rights held sway. Now we need to show the world,And we need to show ourselves,That we can turn it, we can turn it, Yes together, yes we can!We spy on ourselves and tap our phones,And call this a patriot act,Surrendering freedom step by stepDivided we fell in a trap.We torture, kill and lie to the world,We squander our honor and pride,We sell our souls to feed our greed—Now we must change the tide!Now we need to show the world,And we need to show ourselvesThat we can turn it, we can turn it!Yes together, yes we can!The polar bear sits on the iceThat melts and shrinks every year.The smog consumes our precious airAnd sprawl spreads everywhere.To fill the pockets of the few,Exploit our rocks and rills We disrespect our Mother Earth Yelling, DRILL BABY DRILL!Now we need to show the world,And we need to show ourselvesThat we can turn, we can turn it!Yes together, yes we can!We gave our taxes to the richAnd left our children behind.The rich send our jobs away,They show us their behindsThey split us into red and blue,The space in the aisle is wide.To close the gap is what we needAnd stop this wretched divide!Now we need to show the worldAnd we need to show ourselvesThat we can turn, we can turn it!Yes, together, yes we can!Yes we must turn things around!And we can turn things around!Yes we can turn it, we can turn it!Yes together, yes we can!
