State of the Union Chicago

[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]
I was talking about the state of the union
How there's no one now in power who's thinking of me
I was thinking how we ought to try to fix it
Find a leader who is not afraid to be

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Then a voice called out in the darkness
Saying, "Tear the system down"
Oh, tear it down

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
I was thinking about how that was very crazy
And I tried to find a way to tell him so
But when I did, I used a word that was quite nasty
How the policeman heard me, man, I'll never know

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Then a voice called from out in the darkness
Saying, "Tear the system down"
Oh, tear it down
Down to the ground
Mmm

[Instrumental]
