For What It’s Worth lyrics

There's something happening here
And 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 going down
Yeah...

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people
Should be speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

We gotta stop, children
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down, yeah
What's going down
Down, down, down...

And what a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say "hooray for our side"
