Chicago

So your brother's bound and gagged
And they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to Chicago, just to sing
In a land that's known as freedom
How can such a thing be fair
Won't you please come to Chicago for the help that we can bring

We can change the world
Rearrange the world
It's dying
To get better

Politicians, sit yourselves down
There's nothing for you here
Won't you please come to Chicago for a ride
Don't ask Jack to help you
'Cause he'll turn the other ear
Won't you please come to Chicago, or else join the other side

(We can change) Yes, we can change the world
(Rearrange) Rearrange the world
It's dying

If you believe in justice (it's dying)
And if you believe in freedom (it's dying)
Let a man live his own life (it's dying)
Rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door

Somehow people must be free
I hope the day comes soon
Won't you please come to Chicago, show your face
From the bottom of the ocean
To the mountains of the moon
Won't you please come to Chicago, no one else can take your place

(We can change) Yes, we can change the world
(Rearrange) Rearrange the world
It's dying

If you believe in justice (it's dying)
And if you believe in freedom (it's dying)
Let a man live his own life, yeah (it's dying)
Rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door
