It Better End Soon
Chicago Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Number six)
(Hey buddy, now lis-, listen and listen tight)

Can't stand it no more
People dying
Crying for help for so many years
But nobody hears
Better end soon, my friend
It better end soon, my friend
Yeah

Can't take it no more
The people hating
Hurting their brothers
They don't understand
They can't understand

Better end soon, my friend
It better end soon, my friend




Yeah, yeah-yeah
Just think about it

Lyrics for anyone who wants to sing along (>

Just one more tear to cry
One teardrop from my eye
You better save it for
The middle of the night
When things aren't black and white
Enter, Troubadour
Remember twenty-four?

And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it
Another version of me, I was in it
I wave goodbye to the end of beginning

This song has started now
And you're just finding out
Now isn't that a laugh?
A major sacrifice
But clueless at the time
Enter, Caroline
Just trust me, you'll be fine

And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it
Another version of me, I was in it
I wave goodbye to the end of beginning
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the

And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it
Another version of me, I was in it
Oh, I wave goodbye to the end of beginning
(Goodbye, goodbye)

You better save it for

And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it
Another version of me, I was in it
I wave goodbye to the end of beginning

This song has started now

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the

And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it
Another version of me, I was in it
Oh, I wave goodbye to the end of beginning
(Goodbye, goodbye)
