"It is my pleasure that my children
are free and happy, and
unrestrained by parental tyranny."
Abraham Lincoln

“Stop, children, what’s that sound”

Derek and I, along with the boys, and Ruth and Jordan went to see The Dark Knight last evening. It was long and very loud, but not a bad superhero movie. One of the previews was for this movie, which had a familiar tune in the background. I haven’t thought of this song for ages.

For What It’s Worth

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 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

I think 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 say, “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
You 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

Stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, now, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
