A Sixties Classic Updated for 2025

CHICAGO

We’re aware you hate our city.

Crime’s a pretext, we all know.

Keep your troops out of Chicago, you old man.

Lift your leg upon our people.

You’re the boss, or so we’re told.

Keep your troops out of Chicago; take a stand.

___________________

You can’t change our world.

Rearrange our world.

You don’t want to make it better.

___________________

Republicans all hate us.

There’s nothing for them here.

Keep your troops out of Chicago till we ask.

Our immigrants are frightened

You’re thinking that’s just great.

Keep your troops out of Chicago; that’s your task.

___________________

You can’t change our world.

Rearrange our world.
