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've got to beware

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Gettin' so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
A-singing songs and a-carryin' signs
Mostly say, "hooray for our side"

I think it's s time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down

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

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
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
Stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
