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 had 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

Oh, stop now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
What's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in my streets
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
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 come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Yeah, stop now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Stop, sure now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Now, stop now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Now, stop now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Now, stop children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down, yeah stop
