For What It's Worth Lyrics

theres something happening here
what it is aint exactly clear
theres a man with a gun over there
telling me, i got to beware
i think its time we stop children
whats that sound?
everybody look whats going down

theres battle lines being drawn
nobodys right if everybody's wrong
young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance from behind

i think its time we stop children
whats that sound?
everybody look whats going 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 its time we stop children
whats that sound?
everybody look whats 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 comes and he'll take you away

i think its time we stop children
whats that sound?
everybody look whats going down
stop children
whats that sound?
everybody look whats going down

stop children
whats that sound?
everybody look whats going down

stop children
whats that sound?
everybody look whats going down
