For What It's Worth

Words and music by Stephen Stills
Substituted words by
S.L. McKay

There's something happening here
What it is, is exactly clear
There's a man with a smirk over there
Telling us
That he doesn't care

Chorus:
Think it's time we
STOP! Hey
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down ...

There's battle lines being drawn
Radical right says everybody else is wrong
Junta out of their minds
Getting so much assistance
From inside

Think it's time we
STOP! Hey
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down ...

Protesters carrying signs
Being ignored and condemned
From all sides

Think it's time we
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 have no say
Rehnquist Five
Bush & Co. take it all away

Think it's time we
STOP! Hey
What's that sound
Stop and take a look around

Hey! What's that sound
Look what's going down.

There's something happening here
What it is, is exactly clear
There's a man with a smirk over there
Telling us
Our children is learning -- beware

There's battle lines being drawn
Drilling in Alaska is just plain wrong
Big oil pullin' the strings
Bought and paid for
The West wing

Recession showing no signs
Being created and promoted
From dark minds

Think it's time we
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 have no say
Attorney General
Bush & Co. don't listen anyway

Think it's time we
STOP! Hey
What's that sound
Stop and take a look around

Hey! What's that sound
Look what's going down.
