《For What It’s Worth》歌词

[00:00:09] Let us not allow another dream to turn sour

[00:00:12] Dismissed by cynics as the son of flower power

[00:00:14] We don't know how and we don't know why

[00:00:16] But we can still retain love in our mind's eye

[00:00:19] And I know bitterness is never a solution

[00:00:21] Cos deep in my soul I had a silent revolution

[00:00:24] As a means to an end I may choose wealth

[00:00:26] But love is truly an end in itself

[00:00:29] And I see George hand in hand with the dragon

[00:00:31] Loading contraband upon the same band wagon

[00:00:34] Pinball machines have a sign say tilt

[00:00:36] But in life it's difficult establishing guilt

[00:00:38] So it won't be me to cast the first stone

[00:00:41] Cos I've got far too many hang ups of my own

[00:00:44] And further more if the truth be known

[00:00:46] I want mercy when my cover gets blown

[00:00:49] There's something happening here

[00:00:53] What it is ain't exactly clear

[00:00:58] There's a man with a gun over there

[00:01:02] Telling me I've got to beware

[00:01:07] I think it's time we stop

[00:01:09] Children what's that sound

[00:01:11] Everbody look what's going down

[00:01:22] And it sure is quiet on the western front

[00:01:24] A high high high priced media stunt

[00:01:25] The tabloid headlines they keep me feeling happy

[00:01:27] Cos they're feeding me a slogan

[00:01:29] That's punchy and snappy

[00:01:31] And when I look inside I never get tense

[00:01:33] Cos it tells me what I want to hear

[00:01:34] Bout the world events

[00:01:35] The just war is the latest trend

[00:01:37] But let this good thing come to an end

[00:01:39] And tell me a little more about your new world order

[00:01:41] Does this mean your gonna open up your border

[00:01:43] Open up your heart open up your mind

[00:01:45] Eradicate the poverty you left behind

[00:01:47] Open up your job to the last Mohican

[00:01:48] Open up the hospital you closed last week

[00:01:50] And then if so you can open up your

[00:01:51] Stock exchange in Moscow

[00:01:53] Now there are 5 billion people plus upon this planet

[00:01:55] The place cannot be totally without love can it

[00:01:57] The very first time in my life I stood still for a second

[00:02:01] I found more pain than I previously reckoned

[00:02:06] And it hurt and it hurt and it hurt like pain does

[00:02:12] And I discovered that's OK because

[00:02:14] There was a very good reason for the pain to be there

[00:02:21] Pain is a way of reminding us we care

[00:02:23] The first time my soul came into focus

[00:02:26] And my soul said let the pain provoke us

[00:02:28] And I felt safe and I felt warm inside

[00:02:30] And I felt the waves of pain subside

[00:02:44] And I saw then what I'd always been seeking

[00:02:47] The light of love shining out like a beacon

[00:02:50] And I stopped listened looked around

[00:02:52] And now I'm dancing to a whole new sound

[00:02:55] I think it's time we stop

[00:02:56] Hold your fire put down your weapon

[00:02:58] You'll never get to heaven with an AK47
