Listen to you Listen to me No one knows the reason Why they wanna be free Workin' all night Workin' all day Waitin' for my money And I can't get away I wanna be rich man But I'm only poor man I got to get away Waitin' for the risin' sun to shine on windy city You can find a place to hide yourself in windy city I've got to get away from windy city Your dad's in the slam Your mama's a whore No one understands you Couldn't help bein' poor But when I get rich I'll get my kicks From givin' it all away Wanna be free 'Cause livin' ain't easy Wanna be free Cause that's how it's gonna be I gotta be free Waitin' for the risin' sun to shine on windy city You can find a place to hide yourself in windy city Gotta be free Now I'm a rich man Gotta be free Don't wanna be this man I gotta be free Waitin' for the risin' sun to shine on windy city You can find a place to hide yourself in windy city I've got to get away from windy city I don't wanna be a poor man Don't wanna be a rich man I gotta be free I wanna be free
