There's somethin' happenin' here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there A-tellin' me I've got to beware I think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' down There's battle lines bein' drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speakin' their minds A-gettin' so much resistance from behind I think it's time we stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' down What a field day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs Mostly sayin' hooray for our side It's time we stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' down Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid Step out of line, the men come and take you away You better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' You better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' You better stop Now, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' You better stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin'

Foi gravado em 5 de dezembro de 1966 e lançado como single na mesma data pela Atco Records, alcançando o posto 7 na Billboard Hot 100 na primavera de 1967.
O título “For What It’s Worth” foi acrescentado apenas depois da gravação, já que não aparece na letra da música.
A canção tornou-se um hino não oficial dos protestos contra a Guerra do Vietnã, quando estudantes e “flower children” enfrentavam a polícia nas manifestações da época.
Em 2004, a Rolling Stone a posicionou no número 63 da lista das 500 maiores músicas de todos os tempos.
