Dialogue (Pt. I)(2002 Remaster) - Chicago

作词：Robert Lamm

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

What don't know

Don't you ever 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

But 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
