Lou Rawls - For What It's Worth

Something's 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

Battle lines bein' drawn

Nobody's right if everyone's wrong

People speaking their minds

Getting so much resistance from behind

Yeah, stop, children, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

What a field day for the heat

Ten thousand people in the street

Singing songs and carrying signs

Mostly say, "Hooray for our side!"

I think it's time we stop

Children, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, hey, 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, the man's coming to take you away

Yeah, stop, children, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going

You better stop

Stop

You better stop

Stop

You better stop
