For What It's Worth    (Stephen Stills)


There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware

Think it's time we STOP! hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down

There's battle lines beeing drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
People speeking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

Think 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 standing in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say "hooray for our side"

Think 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
Step out of line the men come and take you away

Think it's time we STOP! hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down

Crosby, Stills & Nash   "Allies"   1983
