For What It’s Worth lyrics

Let us not allow another dream to turn sour
Dismissed by cynics as the son of flower power
We don't know how and we don't know why
But we can still retain love in our mind's eye

And I know bitterness is never a solution
Cos deep in my soul I had a silent revolution
As a means to an end I may choose wealth
But love is truly an end in itself

And I see George hand in hand with the dragon
Loading contraband upon the same band wagon
Pinball machines have a sign say tilt

But in life it's difficult establishing guilt
So it won't be me to cast the first stone
Cos I've got far too many hang ups of my own
And further more if the truth be known
I want mercy when my cover gets blown

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

I think it's time we stop!
Children what's that sound
Everbody look what's going down
