For What It`s Worth Lyrics

For What It`s Worth

(Buffalo Springfield)



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



Battle lines being drawn

Nobody's right if everyone's wrong

People speaking their minds

Getting so much resistance from behind



Yeah, stop children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down



What a field-day for the heat

Ten thousand people in the street

Singing songs and carrying signs

Mostly say, hooray for our side



I think it's time we stop, children, 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 man come and take you away



Stop, children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, hey, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down



You better stop!

Stop

You better stop!

Stop
