FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH

Words and music by Stephen Stills

There's somethin' happenin' here
But 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 goin' down

There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
A getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carryin' signs
Mostly say 'hooray for our side'
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' 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 goin'
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin'
We better stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin'
We better stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down ....
