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
