So our country's bound and gagged
And they've chained us to a war
Won't you please come to Chicago
It's time 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 dying - to get better
Politicians sit yourself down
There's nothing here to fear
Won't you please come to Chicago
Take our side
Don't ask George to heed you
Cause he'll turn the other ear
Won't you please come to Chicago
We all know how much he's lied
We can change the world -
Re-arrange the world
It's dying - if you believe in justice
It's dying - if you believe in freedom
It's dying - if you believe in America
It's dying - Bush and Cheney, who needs them
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 of the moon
Won't you please come to Chicago
No one else can take your place
We can change the world -
Re-arrange the world
It's dying - if you believe in justice
It's dying - if you believe in freedom
It's dying - if you believe in America
It's dying - Bush and Cheney, Impeach them
Throw 'em out the door
We can change the world.
