Lyrics For What It's Worth - Hootie & The Blowfish

There's 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

I think it's time to 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
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

What a field day for the youth (woo-ooh)
A thousand people in the street (woo-ooh)
Singing songs and carrying signs (woo-ooh)
Mostly say hooray for our side (woo-ooh)

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're always afraid
You step out of line, the men come and take you away

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going, you men
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
