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 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 set 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
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?
Oh throw 'em out 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 on the moon
Won't you please come to Chicago?
No one else can take your place
We can change 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?
Throw 'em out the door
