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
Rearrange the world
It's dying
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 Yes, we can change the world
Rearrange 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
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 of the moon
Won't you please come to Chicago No one else can take your place
We can change Yes, we can change the world
Rearrange 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, yeah It's dying
Rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door
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
