Chicago Lyrics

Nash, 1970
            Though 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 plaese come to Chicago
                   For the help we can bring
                  We can change the  world -
                     Re-arrange the world
                  It's dying - to get better
                Politicians sit yourself 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 -
                     Re-arrange 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 it's 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 to 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 -
                     Re-arrange 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 it's own life
      It's dying - rules and regulations, who needs them
                       Open up the door
                    We can change the world
