The Staple Singers - For What It's Worth lyrics

rate me

Something happenin' here<br />

What it is ain't exactly clear<br />

There's a man with a gun over there<br />

Telling me I got to beware<br />

<br />

It's time we stop, children<br />

What's that sound<br />

Everybody look what's going down<br />

<br />

Battle lines being drawn<br />

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong<br />

Young people speaking their minds<br />

Getting so much resistance from behind<br />

<br />

It's time we stop, children<br />

What's that sound<br />

Everybody look what's going down<br />

<br />

What a field day for the heat<br />

Thousand people in the street<br />

Singing songs and carrying signs<br />

Mostly sayin', hooray for our side<br />

<br />

It's time we stop, children<br />

What's that sound<br />

Everybody look what's going down<br />

<br />

Paranoia strikes deep<br />

Into your life it will creep<br />

Starts when you're always afraid<br />

Step out of line<br />

The man come and takes you away<br />

<br />

It's time we stop, children<br />

What's that sound<br />

Everybody look what's going down<br />

<br />

Stop, children<br />

What's that sound<br />

Everybody look what's going down<br />

<br />

Stop, children<br />

What's that sound<br />

Everybody look what's going down
