For What It's Worth

For What It's Worth - Hugh Cornwell

There's something happening here

What it is ain't exactly clear

There's a man with a gun over there

A 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

A getting so much resistance from behind

It's time children what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

What a field day for the heat

Hmm hmm hmm

A thousand people in the street

Hmm hmm hmm

Singing songs and carrying signs

Hmm hmm hmm

Mostly say hooray for our side

It's time 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 the man come and 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 down
