For What It’s Worth

Stephen Stills

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
nobody is right, if everybody’s wrong
young people speaking their minds
so much resistance from behind

What a field day for the heat
a thousand people in the street
singing songs and carrying signs
mostly say hooray for our side

paranoia strikes deep
in to your life it will creep
it starts when you’re always afraid
get out of line, the men come and take you away
