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've 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 stop
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field day for the heat
There's a thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray, for our side

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
You step out of line, the man comes
And takes you away

You better stop
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Stop now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
