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’ve 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 are being drawn. Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong.
Young people speaking their minds are getting so much resistance from behind.
Time we stop, hey, 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 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 outta line, the man come and take you away.
We better stop, hey, what’s that sound, everybody look, what’s going down.
We better stop, hey, what’s that sound, everybody look, what’s going down.
We better stop, hey, what’s that sound, everybody look, what’s going down.
We better stop, hey, what’s that sound, everybody look, what’s going down…
