For What It's Worth Songtext
von Rise Against

There′s something happening here
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, listen, what's that sound
Everybody look what′s going down

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

I think it's time we stop, listen, what′s that sound
Everybody look what's going down


What a field-day for the heat
One thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our sign

Now you better stop, listen, what′s that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your mind it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

Now you better stop, listen, what′s that sound
Everybody look what′s going down
Now stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what′s going...
You better stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what′s going down
