It Better End Soon - 4th Movement
(Carnegie Live-Version)

Robert Lamm

Oh yeah

You know what we've been saying
You know what we've been praying
You know what's going down

Oh come on
Let's spread it around

We got to stop it
We got to make it right - got to
We got to end all fighting - gotta
We got to end it tonight

It can't be done just because I'm gonna sing a song
Everybody must have love and peace just flow
It's got to grow from a little spark
It's got to burn higher

But it must start
If we want to have the whole world right
We got to put up a fight
But a peaceful fight

Can't go around killing - and contradicting ourselves
We gotta do it right - within the system

Please understand what I say
Everybody understand what I say

End this war as fast as we can
End this war, end this war, end all wars
Forever more, c'mon, c'mon, please, please

We gotta do it so that the world will live
You know all you gotta do is give - of yourself
Give of your heart - give of your soul
Please let's go! Do it, do it, do it
Please

A Song For Richard And His Friends

Robert Lamm

If you will think now, then you will see
How you can change things

People are waiting, turning away
Tired of killing

Hey now
Will you go away
We're so tired
Of things that you say

Even though you never said word that would help anyone but yourself
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Oh, bad dream

If you stay now,
It will only get worse

Let us pray now
'Cause the truth really hurts

Have to be a man so today with your brothers and sisters lay dying
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Yeah, Such a bad dream

Listen
Please be gone
Go away and leave us alone
Bring police
Go away and leave us in peace
Yeah

Please be gone
Go away and leave us alone
Bring police
Go away and leave us in peace

Will you go now
Will you take all your friends
Woah now, If you'd stood like a man

Even though I know that you cannot be blamed all alone for all the sadness
you've caused
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Yeah, such a bad dream
Oh yeah, such a bad dream
Dig it

If you will think now you will then you will see
How we can change things
People are waiting, turning away
Tired of killing
