E E A A
There's something happening here
E E A A
What it is ain't exactly clear
E E A A
There's a man with a gun over there
E E A A
Telling me I got to beware

E E D D
Stop, children, what's that sound?
A A D D E E
Everybody look, what's going down

E E A A 2x


E E A A
There's battle lines being drawn
E E A A
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
E E A A
Young people speaking their minds
E E A A
Getting so much resistance from behind


(I think it's time we)
E E D D
Stop, children, what's that sound?
A A D D E E
Everybody look, what's going down

E E A A
What a field-day for the heat
E E A A
A A thousand people in the street

Singing songs and carrying signs
E E A A
Mostly sayin', "hooray for our side"

Stop, children, what's that sound?

Everybody look, what's going down

E E A A
Paranoia strikes deep
E E A A
Into your life it will creep
E E A A
It starts when you're always afraid
E E A A
You step out of line, the man come and take you away


(I think it's time we)
E E D D
Stop, children, what's that sound
A A D D E E
Everybody look what's going down
E E D D
Stop, hey, what's that sound
A A D D E E
Everybody look what's going down
E E D D
Stop, now, what's that sound
A A D D E E
Everybody look what's going down
E E D D
Stop, children, what's that sound
A A D D E E
Everybody look what's going down

About this song: For What It's Worth

While the song has come to symbolize worldwide turbulence and confrontational feelings arising from events during the 1960s (particularly the Vietnam War), Stills reportedly wrote the song in reaction to escalating unrest between law enforcement and young club-goers related to the closing of Pandora's Box, a club on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California. The song's title appears nowhere in its lyrics; it is more easily remembered by the first line of chorus: "Stop, children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down."Read more on Last.fm.
