Don't Turn Your Back
Said goodbye to his wife and kids one day
To work for their future far, far away
The scorching heat, too tired to stand on his feet
High hopes turned into dismay
Soon he learned what all the workers knew
Conditions were miserable and the money was too
Twelve hours a day, they kept on grinding away
Not all of them made it through
So let us cheer on our heroes
Let us sing for our flags
As the show goes on regardless
Let's make sure we don't forget
Don't turn your back on truthfulness and honesty
Don't turn your back on corporate funded tragedy
Don't turn your back on all of those who built your dream
Don't turn your back
All his life he worked hard to play the game
On the biggest stage where all the world knows his name
He made the team and gets to fight for his dream
The ultimate glory and fame
Always first to stand up to those who hate
He should speak out about the poor workers' fate
His agent said, just hold the banner instead
Supporting change way too late
So let us cheer on our heroes
Let us sing for our flags
As the show goes on regardless
Let's make sure we don't forget
Don't turn your back, on truthfulness and honesty
Don't turn your back, on corporate funded tragedy
Don't turn your back, on all of those who built your dream
Don't turn your back
When a loaded federation meets an overambitious nation
Anything goes and problems will ensue
How will we remember this World Cup in December?
Who's gonna give the workers what's been long overdue?
Don't turn your back on truthfulness and honesty
Don't turn your back on corporate funded tragedy
Don't turn your back on all of those who built your dream
Don't turn your back
Don't turn a blind eye
Don't look away
Don't turn your back
Can there be justice in the world today?
Don't turn your back
To work for their future far, far away
The scorching heat, too tired to stand on his feet
High hopes turned into dismay
Soon he learned what all the workers knew
Conditions were miserable and the money was too
Twelve hours a day, they kept on grinding away
Not all of them made it through
So let us cheer on our heroes
Let us sing for our flags
As the show goes on regardless
Let's make sure we don't forget
Don't turn your back on truthfulness and honesty
Don't turn your back on corporate funded tragedy
Don't turn your back on all of those who built your dream
Don't turn your back
All his life he worked hard to play the game
On the biggest stage where all the world knows his name
He made the team and gets to fight for his dream
The ultimate glory and fame
Always first to stand up to those who hate
He should speak out about the poor workers' fate
His agent said, just hold the banner instead
Supporting change way too late
So let us cheer on our heroes
Let us sing for our flags
As the show goes on regardless
Let's make sure we don't forget
Don't turn your back, on truthfulness and honesty
Don't turn your back, on corporate funded tragedy
Don't turn your back, on all of those who built your dream
Don't turn your back
When a loaded federation meets an overambitious nation
Anything goes and problems will ensue
How will we remember this World Cup in December?
Who's gonna give the workers what's been long overdue?
Don't turn your back on truthfulness and honesty
Don't turn your back on corporate funded tragedy
Don't turn your back on all of those who built your dream
Don't turn your back
Don't turn a blind eye
Don't look away
Don't turn your back
Can there be justice in the world today?
Don't turn your back
