| 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 |
