For What It's Worth Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

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. 

Everybody look what's going down. 

Battle lines being drawn, 

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong. 

Some people speaking their minds 

Getting so much resistance from behind. 

It's time we stop, 

Children, what's that sound, 

Everybody look what's going down. 

What a field day for the heat, 

There's a thousand people in the street 

Singing songs and carrying signs 

Mostly saying, "Hooray for our kind!" 

It's time we stop, 

Children, what's that sound, 

Everybody look what's going down. 

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, 

Get out of line, the men come and take you away. 

It's time we stop, 

Children, what's that sound, 

Everybody look what's going 

We got to stop, 

Children, what's that sound 

Everybody look what's going 

We got to stop, 

Children, what's that sound 

Everybody look what's going 

We got to stop, 

Children, what's that sound 

Everybody look what's going down.
