Hugh Cornwell - For What It's Worth Lyrics




There's somethin' happenin' here.
What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there
A-tellin' me I've got to beware.

I think it's time we stop. Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down.

There's battle lines bein' drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speakin' their minds
A-gettin' so much resistance from behind.

I 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 in the street
Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs
Mostly sayin' hooray for our side.

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 MAN come and take you away.

You better stop. Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'.
You better stop. Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'.
You better stop. Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'.
You better stop. Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'.
