So your brother's bound and gagged
And they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to Chicago
Just to singIn 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 bringWe can change the world
Re-arrange the world
It's dying ... to get betterPoliticians sit yourselves down
There's nothing for you here
Won't you please come to Chicago
For a rideDon't ask Jack to help you
'Cause he'll turn the other earWon't you please come to Chicago
Or else join the other sideWe 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 his own life
It's dying ... rules and
regulations, who needs them
Throw them out the door
Somehow people must be free
I hope the day comes soon
Won't you please come to Chicago
Show your faceFrom the bottum of the ocean
To the mountains on the moon
Won't you please come to Chicago
No one else can take your placeYes, 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 his own life
It's dying ... rules and
regulations, who needs them
Throw them out the door
