(A Musical conversation between Terry Kath and Peter Cetera)
(Terry)
Are ya optimistic
For the way that things are going
(Peter)
No I never ever think of it at all
(Terry)
Don't you ever worry
When you see what's going down
(Peter)
Well I try to mind my business
That is no business at all
(Terry)
When it's time to function, as a feeling human being
Will your Bachelor of Arts help you get by
(Peter)
I hope to study further, a few more years or so
I also hope to keep a steady high OH yea yea yea
(Terry)
Will ya try to change things with the power that ya have
With the power of a million new ideas
(Peter)
But is this power you speak of has the need for things to change
I always thought that everything was fine, everything is fine
(Terry)
Don't ya feel repression
That's just closing in around
(Peter)
No, the campus here is very, very free
(Terry)
Don't it make ya angry
The way war is dragging on
(Peter)
Well I hope the President knows what he's into, I don't know
Oh, I just don't know
(Terry)
Don't ya see starvation in the city where you live
All your neighbors hunger, all your neighbors fears
(Peter)
Oh, I haven't been there lately, the country is so fine
My neighbors don't seem hungry cause they haven't got the time, haven't got the time
(Terry)
Thank you for the talk you know
You really eased my mind
I was troubled 'bout the shapes of things to come
(Peter)
Well if you had my outlook, your feelings would be numb
Always think that everything was fine
Everything was fine
