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 the world) yes, we can change the world
(Rearrange the world) 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? (Ooh)
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 the world) yes, we can change the world
(Rearrange the world) 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? (Ooh)
Open up the door
