For What It's Worth

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

It's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

Battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

And we better 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, carrying signs
Mostly say, "hooray for our side"

You better 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
Step out of line, the man comes and takes you away

And you better stop
Children, 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
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
