For What It's Worth

[Verse 1]

There's something happening here

But what it is ain't exactly clear

There's a man with a gun over there

A-telling me I got to beware

[Chorus]

I think it's time we stop

Children, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 2]

There's battle lines being drawn

And nobody's right if everybody's wrong

Young people speaking their minds

Are gettin' so much resistance from behind

[Chorus]

It's time we stop

Hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 3]

What a field day for the heat (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

A thousand people in the street (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Singing songs and a-carryin' signs (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]

It's time we stopped

Hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

We better stop

Hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going

We better stop

Hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going

We better stop

Now, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going

We better stop

Children, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down
