For What It's Worth Lyrics
Something's happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to bewareI think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going downBattle lines bein' drawn
Nobody's right if everyone's wrong
People speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behindYeah, stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going downWhat a field day for the heat
Ten 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
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going downParanoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man's coming to take you awayYeah, stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going downStop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
You better stopStop
You better stop
Stop
You better stop
