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
