CROSBY, STILLS & NASH lyrics - For What It's Worth

(Stephen Stills)



[Intro. (Electric Guitar and Keyboards)]



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



Think it's time we stop

Hey, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down



[Instrumental (Keyboards)]



There's battle lines being drawn again

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong again

Young people speaking their minds once again

So much resistance from behind



Think it's time we stop

Hey, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down



[Instrumental (Keyboards)]



What a field day for the heat

A thousand people standing in the street

Singing songs and carrying the signs, oh no

They mostly say "hooray for our side"



We've got to stop

Hey, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down



[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]



Paranoia strikes deep

Into your life it will creep

It starts when you're always afraid

Step outta line the men come and shoot you down



Think it's time we stop

Hey, what's that sound

Hey, hey, hey we've got to stop and take a look around

No, no, yeah stop, hey, what's that sound hey, hey, hey

We've got to stop and take a look around



[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]



Think it's time we stop

Hey, what's that sound

Look what's going down yeah, yeah, yeah
