I think this is one of Chicago's absolute BEST songs of all time. It's a great listen, it's something I could hear time and time again, day after day, but it's actually got a premise to it. Believe it or not, most songs don't tell stories like movies do, but Dialogue managed to.
The story is essentially two people: one a pessimist (Terry Kath), the other a blind (figuratively), apathetic optimist (Peter Cetera), who meet, discuss their political beliefs, and by the end of the song, come to be more hopeful and realistic.
