BetterChicago

You can count on a number of things
Like tomorrow the sun's gonna shine
There'll be flowers in spring time
Poets will make rhymes
Couples in moonlight are so ripe to fall

Fallin' in love, such a natural thing
There's a look in that one person's eyes
And the moment we know it
We don't want to blow it
So we get way too careful and it all slips away

You've always told me
You can do better
And something would always come along
And so I listened, down to the letter
'Til somebody better came along

You... you can do better
Talkin' to you, you, you, you...
You gotta do better!

Now I feel like I'm swimming upstream
When the current is running so strong
I'm a fish out of water
The first time I saw you
Couldn't keep it together
Don't care if I'm wrong
But it seems like forever
Since we got along

You've always told me
You can do better
And something would always come along
And so I listened, down to the letter
'Til somebody better came along

You said it so often
You thought I'd believe it
That I was always doin' it wrong
But you always said that
You could take it or leave it
So, somebody better came along!

You've always told me
You can do better
And something would always come along
And so I listened, down to the letter
'Til somebody better came along

You said it so often
You thought I'd believe it
That I was always doin' it wrong
But you always said that
You could take it or leave it
So, somebody better came along!

You... You can do better, better
Talkin' to you, you, you...
You gotta do better!

Chicago

Chicago is a rock band hailing from the Illinois city of the same name. With its multitude of certified gold and platinum hits, the band has had enough longevity to last for over fifty years.

Chicago was formed on February 15, 1967, between keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, saxophonist Walter Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine, guitarist Terry Kath, and trombonist James Pankow. The group called themselves “The Big Thing,” and played Top 40 hits in nightclubs in Chicago. In 1968, the band relocated to Los Angles, and changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. They gained massive amounts of exposure to famous musicians of the time by regularly playing at the Whiskey A Go Go nightclub. In 1969, they released a self-titled album which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The next year, the band shortened their name to “Chicago” to avoid a lawsuit from the actual company of the same name.

The band has released a plethora of albums, most of them titled Chicago enumerated with Roman numerals. The band changed its sound in the late 70s and 80s following the death of Terry Kath. Since then, the band has still carried on a legacy for the decades following, but has slowed the release of original music to a trickle.
