For What It’s Worth Songtext
von Meat Loaf

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, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Stop, children, what′s that sound
Everybody look what′s going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Everybody′s right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

Time to stop, children, what′s that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Stop, children, what′s that sound
Everybody look what's going down


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

It's time to 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
Step out of line, and they come and take you away

It′s time to 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 down
Stop!
