For What It's Worth - The Stranglers

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 children

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

Stop children

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going

Down

What a field day for the heat ohhh ohhh ohhh

A thousand people in the street ohhh ohhh ohhh

Singing songs and carrying signs ohhh ohhh ohhh

Mostly saying Hooray for our side

Stop children

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going

Down

Paranoia strikes deep

Into your life it will creep

It starts when you're always afraid

Step out of line a man comes to take you away

Stop children

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop children

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop children

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop children

What's that sound

Everybody look what's going
