Best Answer

You can if you have a license or if your "use" is exempt under one or more copyright statutes in the place where you intend to use them.

For example, you might freely use copyrighted lyrics of non-dramatic music in a public performance of the music without any admission charge and without compensation to the performers. 17 USC § 110(4).
