We are naked
We are innocent
We are deadly
We are broken
We are ignorant
We are lost
We are children
We are discontent
We are fatal
We are broken
We are impotent
We are lost
This televised democracy
[We seek protection, we seek protection]
Such adolescent fantasy

[We seek refuge, we seek refuge]

I think we're naked in the Garden of Allah
We are artless
We are violent
We are poison
We are broken
Pie in the sky and gingerbread
[We seek protection, we seek protection]
We're never meant to get in bed

[We seek refuge, we seek refuge]
With wannabe intelligentsia
I think we're naked in the Garden of Allah
Just remember, I'll remember

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.
