Lyrics to For What It's Worth

There's something happening here

And what it is ain't exactly clear

There's a man with a gun over there

Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children,

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going down,

Yeah...

There's battle lines being drawn

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong

Young people

Should be speaking their minds

Getting so much resistance from behind

We gotta stop, children,

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going down, yeah,

What's going down,

Down, down, down...

And what a field day for the heat

A thousand people in the street

Singing songs and carrying signs,

Mostly say "hooray for our side"

I think it's time we stop, children,

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going down,

Yeah, hmm, oh, yeah, it's on me...

Paranoia strikes deep into your life,

It will surely creep

Well, it starts when you're always afraid

You step out line,

The men come and tear you away

We gotta stop, children,

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Now stop, children,

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Now stop, children,

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Now stop, hey,

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going down,

Yeah...

What's going down,

Down, down, down,

Hmm, what's going down

I think it's time we stop
