For What It's Worth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 should speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
We gotta stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down, yeah
What's going down, down, down, 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
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down, yeah
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will surely creep
Well, it starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We gotta stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down, yeah
What's going down, down, down, down
What's going down
I think it's time we stopped
There's something happening here
What it is, ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
