Chicago — A Song For Richard And His Friends Live at Carnegie Hall

[Spoken Intro] We, uh, we've been recording this thing at Carnegie Hall this week And uh, gee, you may be popstars, each and every one of you But uh, whatever that is Here's a brand new song that we just started doing And it's about, uh It's kind of a wishful thought about wishing President Nixon would quit [Chorus: Robert Lamm] If you will think now, then you will see How you can change things People are waiting, turning away Tired of killing [Verse 1: Robert Lamm] Hey now Will you go away? We're so tired Of things that you say Even though you never said word that would help anyone but yourself Tomorrow is such a bad dream Oh, bad dream [Verse 2: Robert Lamm] If you stay now It will only get worse Let us pray now 'cause the truth really hurts Have to be a man so today with your brothers and sisters lay dying Tomorrow is such a bad dream Yeah, such a bad dream [Bridge: Robert Lamm] Listen Please be gone Go away and leave us alone Bring police Go away and leave us in peace Yeah [Verse 3: Robert Lamm] Please be gone Go away and leave us alone Bring police Go away and leave us in peace Will you go now Will you take all your friends Woah now, if you'd stood like a man Even though I know that you cannot be blamed all alone for all the sadness you've caused Tomorrow is such a bad dream Yeah, such a bad dream Oh yeah, such a bad dream Dig it [Chorus: Robert Lamm] If you will think now you will then you will see How we can change things? People are waiting, turning away Tired of killing
