For What It's Worth

Lyrics

Something happenin' here
 What it is ain't exactly clear
 There's a man with a gun over there
 Telling me I got to beware
 It's time we stop, children
 What's that sound
 Everybody look what's going down
 Battle lines being drawn
 Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
 Young people speaking their minds
 Getting so much resistance from behind
 It's time we stop, children
 What's that sound
 Everybody look what's going down
 What a field day for the heat
 Thousand people in the street
 Singing songs and carrying signs
 Mostly sayin', hooray for our side
 It's time we stop, children
 What's that sound
 Everybody look what's going down
 Paranoia strikes deep
 Into your life it will creep
 Starts when you're always afraid
 Step out of line
 The man come and takes you away
 It's time we stop, children
 What's that sound
 Everybody look what's going down
 Stop, children
 What's that sound
 Everybody look what's going down
 Stop, children
 What's that sound
 Everybody look what's going down
