Chicago - Dialogue Part 1 and 2 (1972)

Studio Version. Great lyrics....
http://www.chicagotheband.com/

Are you optimistic 'bout the way things are going
No, I never ever think of it at all
Don't you ever worry
When you see what's going down
Well, I try to mind my business, that is, no business at all
When it's time to function as a feeling human being
Will your bachelor of arts help you get by
I hope to study further, a few more years or so
I also hope to keep a steady high
Will you try to change things
Use the power that you have, the power of a million new ideas
What is this power you speak of and this need for things to change
I always thought that everything was fine... everything is fine
Don't you feel repression just closing in around
No, the campus here is very, very free
Don't it make you angry the way war is dragging on
Well, I hope the president knows what he's into, I don't know... Oooh I just don't know
Don't you see the starvation in the city where you live
All the needless hunger all the needless pain
I haven't been there lately, the country is so fine
My neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause they haven't got the time... haven't got the time
Thank you for the talk, you know you really eased my mind
I was troubled by the shapes of things to come
Well, if you had my outlook your feelings would be numb
You'd always think that everything was fine... everything was fine

We can make it happen
We can change the world now
We can save the children
We can make it better
We can make it happen
We can save the children
We can make it happen

[willc854]

seems that this song is ESPECIALLY TRUE TODAY...40 years later, and still on the mark

[Amy06830]

Oh, timeless!

[sindilee]

@1tbo I wondered if it was Terry, as well. Sounds like him.

[newspapertaxis1]

Terry and Peter goin back and forth

[jakers1517]

A personal anthem of mine. Good stuff!

@69MC97gc "Atlas Shrugged"----Rand was brilliant, but not always right----unlike Terry's guitar.

[455Transam]

@goober401 What message is that? That the world isn't perfect? It never will be.

There's rich and poor people and there always will be but what makes the United States great is UNLIKE some other countries even the kid born in the ghetto has a chance to make something of himself if he works hard and doesn't give in to the crime of the ghetto. You wouldn't see all this OCCUPY Bullshit if the economy was humming along like it usually does, things will get better.

[goober401]

@455Transam Try spreading the message anyway, listen to this song.

[spenzalii]

This song goes hard. Absolutely love it

[goober401]

@willc854 They should be playing this song today and see how it relates to people today. People need to think a little more about what is going on around them. Glad others think the same.

@BrickLaneBetty jann wenner will not let the moody blues or ted nugent in and also rush
