About The Song

For What It’s Worth is a classic rock song by the American folk rock band Buffalo Springfield, released in 1967. It was written by Stephen Stills and recorded during the band’s first album sessions. The song became a major hit, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.

The lyrics of the song reflect the unrest and social upheaval of the late 1960s, particularly the counterculture movement and the Vietnam War. The opening lines, “There’s a battle going on outside” and “For what it’s worth, I think I’ll start a band,” capture the spirit of the times and the desire for change. The song’s simple, repetitive melody and catchy chorus helped to make it a popular anthem for a generation.

Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

There’s something happening here
But what it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to bewareI think it’s time we 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 heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, “hooray for our side”

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
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look – what’s going down?

We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look – what’s going down?

We better stop
Now, what’s that sound?
Everybody look – what’s going down?

We better stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look – what’s going down?
