 For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield (1966)

There's something happening here

But 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

It's 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 saying, ""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 out of line, the men come and take you away

We 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?

Stop

Now, what's that sound?

Everybody look, what's going down?

Stop

Children, what's that sound?

Everybody look, what's going down?
