Herb Alpert - For What It's Worth lyrics

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 being drawn And nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds And getting so much resistance from behind I think it's time we 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 saying 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 You step out of line, the man comes And he'll take you away I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
