For What It's Worth Lyrics


There's something happening here
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
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
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, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Everybody look what's going down

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
