For What It’s Worth

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 It's time we stopped 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" It's time we stopped 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 men come and take you away You better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down You better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down Stop, children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down
