It was written by Stephen Stills and originally recorded by Buffalo Springfield. Here's the full lyric:<BR/><BR/><I>There's something happening here<BR/>What it is ain't exactly clear<BR/>There's a man with a gun over there<BR/>Telling me I got to beware<BR/><BR/>I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound?<BR/>Everybody look what's going down<BR/><BR/>There's battle lines being drawn<BR/>Nobody's right if everybody's wrong<BR/>Young people speaking their minds<BR/>Getting so much resistance from behind<BR/><BR/>I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?<BR/>Everybody look what's going down<BR/><BR/>What a field-day for the heat<BR/>A thousand people in the street<BR/>Singing songs and carrying signs<BR/>Mostly say, hooray for our side<BR/><BR/>It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?<BR/>Everybody look what's going down<BR/><BR/>Paranoia strikes deep<BR/>Into your life it will creep<BR/>It starts when you're always afraid<BR/>You step out of line, the man come and take you away<BR/><BR/>We better stop, hey, what's that sound?<BR/>Everybody look what's going down<BR/>Stop, hey, what's that sound?<BR/>Everybody look what's going down<BR/>Stop, now, what's that sound?<BR/>Everybody look what's going down<BR/>Stop, children, what's that sound?<BR/>Everybody look what's going down </I><BR/><BR/>Some years later, and working with a different band, Stephen re-worked it into a slightly different piece which he called "America's Children", and in which he expressed the need for non-violent protest as well as I've ever seen it expressed: <BR/><BR/><I>But you know we gotta do it<BR/>we got to keep on keepin' on<BR/>'cause if we don't do it, nobody else is gonna<BR/>But you know if we can't do it with a smile on our face<BR/>You know if we can't do it with love in our hearts<BR/>then children we ain't got no right to do it at all <BR/>cause that just means we ain't learned nothin' yet<BR/>and we're supposed to be some kind of different</I><BR/><BR/>Some kind of different, indeed. <BR/><BR/>Hats off to Stephen Stills.<BR/><BR/>Hats off to you too, Gandhi.Winter Patriothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06966573231074972843noreply@blogger.com
