For What It's Worth

There's something happening here

But 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 stop

Hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look, what's going down?

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

A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh)

Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)

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

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 men come and take you away

We 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?

You better stop

Now, what's that sound?

Everybody look, what's going down?

You better stop

Children, what's that sound?

Everybody look, what's going down?
