TROOSTMUZIEK Yes, we can - Wende Snijders

Can we make a song
Steal a melody
Make it strong
Believe in the gods
in yourself
not find it odd

Can we live without a car, a chair
no book, no hair
no cook, no bar
cheat on your wife
Play the guitar
Live without your mother

Can we travel very very very far
Very very far
Can we travel very far

Yes, we can
Yes, we can
Yes, we can

Can you eat a dog, kiss a frog
Eat a bird, bake a pie, eat a snake, eat a lie
Can we shout, can we twist
Lend a hand
Or unclench a fist

Can you make a joke
when you're broke
when you're sick to the bone
when your life is full of shit
When you feel like this is it

Can you ask, trip and cry
rob, drink, beg, fake and steal
ask for help, feel something real

Yes, we can
Yes, we can
Yes, we can

Can we stir the silence of the lambs
Can we eat the fruit and not be damned

Yes, we can

Can we change a rule, a nose, a person
Can we change a nation
Can we change a fool
Can we change the weather
Can we keep it cool
Make love, make life, make a star
Can we end a war
Can we really ever change
Can we ever really ever change
Can we really really ever change

Yes, we can
Yes, we can
Yes, we can

Can we stir the silence of the lambs
Can we eat the fruit and not be damned

Yes, we can!
