Lyrics
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
A 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's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
A gettin' so much resistance from behind
I think 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
Singin' songs and a carrying signs
Mostly sayin' 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
You better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
You better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
You better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
You better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
