Lyrics For What It's Worth - Jeffrey Osborne

Oh tell you 'bout something
Something that's going away, y'all
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware
I think it's time to stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look at what's going down?
Everybody take a good look
Oooh, oh yeah
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Let me tell you there's
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
You better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
Going down
Oh
What a field day for life
Say, there's thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "hooray for our side"
Oh, It's time
Stop!
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
What it is. What it is, What it is, what it is y'all
Oh, Let me tell you now
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and they'll take you away
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
Stop, chill, what's that sound
Everybody look - what's going down?
Come on, chill
Take a little step back
And look around
Hey, seeing what's going down?
(Stop! What's that sound?)
Stop!
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody wants to be right
Nobody wants to be wrong
There's a man with a gun over there!
Tell me what's going on
You better stop!
Children, what's that sound?!
Everybody take a good look
A good look
A good look
Ahhh
