For What It's Worth Lyrics

Oliver For What It's Worth

Something's 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
And they're gettin' so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop, people, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
Thousands of people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
You know, they're mostly sayin' 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
You step out of line, the man come and he'll take you away

It's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
