For What It's Worth Songtext
von Tab Benoit

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
It's time to stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what′s going down?

There′s battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right, if everybody′s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
And we stop, Lord, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what′s going down?


Can't help our people in need
Muddy water in the street
There′s no sense of pride
I wanna know who's really on our side
I say, we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what′s going down?

Listen
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life, it will creep
It starts when you′re always afraid
You step out of line, they come and they take you away
I say we stop, Lord, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what′s going down?

Hey
One more time
I say, we stop, girl, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what′s going down?

I said we stop, yo, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what′s going down?
