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
re-arrange the world
it's dy....ing
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
the world
re-arrange the world
it's dying
if you believe in justice
And if we believe
in freedom
maybe they'll let us
live our own life
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
on the moon
Won't you please
come to Chicago
no-one else
can take your place
Yes we can
change the world
re-arrange the world
it's dying
if you believe in justice
And if you believe
in freedom
maybe they'll let us
live our own life
Rules and regulations
who needs them
Open up the door
