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. ~ American Liberal SL McKay.com |
