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 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 time we stop, children , what's that sound?

Everybody, look what's going down

Down, down, down, down, down

Paranoia strikes deep

Into your life it will creep

It starts when you're always afraid

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

Down, down, down, down, hey

We need a change

Change for good

Change

Change
