For What It's Worth
written by Stephen Stills
recorded by Buffalo Springfield
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware
Chorus:
Think it's time we STOP! Hey
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down ...
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right, if everybody's wrong
People speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
(chorus x 2)
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say "Hurray" for our side
(chorus x 3)
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line The Man comes and takes you away
(chorus x 4)
