Buffalo Springfield
For What It's Worth
Stephen Stills, 1966
-----------------
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 speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind.

I think 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
You step out of line, the man come and take you away.

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
