Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth lyrics

There's somethin' happenin' here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun, over there 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 bein' drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speakin' their minds Gettin' so much resistance from behind (It's 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 carryin' signs Mostly sayin', "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 (We better) Stop, hey, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's goin' down? (We better) Stop, hey, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's goin' down? (We better) Stop, now, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's goin' down? (We better) Stop, children, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's goin' down?
