For What It's Worth Lyrics

[00:10.21] There's something happening here
[00:14.11] But what it is ain't exactly clear
[00:18.84] There's a man with a gun over there
[00:23.86] Telling me I got to beware
[00:28.42] I think it's time we stop
[00:30.42] Children, what's that sound?
[00:31.93] Everybody look, what's going down?
[00:36.30]
[00:44.11] There's battle lines being drawn
[00:48.27] Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
[00:53.92] Young people speaking their minds
[00:57.83] Getting so much resistance from behind
[01:02.73] It's time we stop
[01:04.18] Hey, what's that sound?
[01:05.75] Everybody look, what's going down?
[01:10.29]
[01:18.49] What a field day for the heat (Ooh ooh ooh)
[01:22.74] A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh)
[01:26.99] Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)
[01:31.77] Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooh ooh ooh)
[01:36.48] It's time we stop
[01:38.18] Hey, what's that sound?
[01:39.80] Everybody look, what's going down?
[01:44.06]
[01:52.03] Paranoia strikes deep
[01:56.77] Into your life it will creep
[02:01.46] It starts when you're always afraid
[02:05.46] Step out of line, the men come and take you away
[02:10.51] We better stop
[02:11.94] Hey, what's that sound?
[02:13.72] Everybody look, what's going down?
[02:16.07] You better stop
[02:17.31] Hey, what's that sound?
[02:18.75] Everybody look, what's going down?
[02:20.58] You better stop
[02:21.84] Now, what's that sound?
[02:23.19] Everybody look, what's going down?
[02:25.35] You better stop
[02:26.66] Children, what's that sound?
[02:28.21] Everybody look, what's going down?
[02:29.18]
