Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago
The Democrats convention was society's invention
To change our generation was one of their intentions
Chicago was the place for the Democratic race
Mayor Daley made this place a city of disgrace
Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago
Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago
They busted Jerry Rubin, they busted Abbie Hoffman
They busted David Dellinger, they busted Rennie Davis
They busted Lee Weiner, they busted John Froines
They busted Tom Hayden, they busted Bobby Seale
The great conspiracy was meant for you and me
To show that we're not free in this society
Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago
You got to kill, kill, kill,
you got to fight, fight, fight
Never run, run, run,
when you're right, right, right
The whole world is watching, the whole world is watching
Marching against the great injustice
for the people who were busted,
in Chicago, in Chicago, in Chicago
Power to the people, power to the people,
Power to the people, power to the people
Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago
The Democrats convention was society's invention

Power to the people, power to the people,
Power to the people, power to the people
