For What It’s Worth Songtext
von Mavis Staples

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

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

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

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


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

It's time we stop, 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
You step out of line, the man comes and take you away

It′s time to stop, 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

Thank you
Alright
