Chicago Institute (Live) Lyrics by Chris Thompson

The Final Round: Live

2023

Uh, yeah
Okay, we're—
We're gonna play a song from, uh, Watch, I think it is
It's all about an institute in Chicago
There's an institute in Chicago with a room full of machines
And they live this side of the sunrise and they burn away your dreams
Once you fly to Chicago, to Chicago, you will die
When that institute in Chicago has recorded you and I
Woo
There's an empty house in California where they'll always let you in
And they'll make you feel oh-so easy like you never learned sin
Oh, yeah that's how they made it, how they made it seem so clean
Yes, that empty house in California is our brave new world's machine
I thought life was a fire
I thought life was a high time
I thought life was a symbol
I thought life was for livin'
I thought life was a fire
I thought life was a good time
Woo
At the institute in Chicago, from the first day you were born
Oh they just can't tell how your feelin' and they can't see how you're torn
When your name's just a number, just a number, you will die
'Cause that institute in Chicago never knew you were alive
Thank you
