Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth Lyrics

There's something happenin' here
A what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A tellin' me I 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
And nobody's right, if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
A gettin' so much resistance from behind

Time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down

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

It's time we stop, hey, 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

And we better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
You better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down

You better stop!
Now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' --
You better stop!
Children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's....
