For What It's Worth

Stephen Stills

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

We gotta stop, children, 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 s time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Down, down, down, down, down
Oh, ooh
Yeah

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid (don't be afraid y'all)
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, look around
Everybody knows what's going down
Stop, hey, look around
Everybody knows what's going down
Children, down and away
We need a change
Change for good
Woo
(Change)
(I)
(Change)
Oh, ooh
