about

Buffalo Springfield famously played a track written by Stephen Stills called For What It's Worth. Zonn has based his song on this and updated many of the lyrics to reflect contemporary issues.

lyrics

There's somethin' happenin' here.
What it is, ain't exactly clear.
A person, with a shield in their hand,
Is telling me, where I can and where I can’t stand.

I think it's time we stop,
People, what's that sound?
Everybody knows what's goin' down.

Infectious illness strikes deep.
Into your mind, it will creep.
It starts when you're always afraid.
Step out-of-line, and the army might take you away.

You better stop.
People, what's that sound?
Everyone look what's goin' down.

What a field day for the news,
Who only ever give one point of view,
They’re never wrong, and they’re always right,
Facing so much corruption, from the inside.

You better stop.
People, what's that sound?
Everyone knows what's goin' down.
Stop, people,
What's that sound?
Everyone knows what's goin' down.

Myocarditis, on the rise,
Healthy footballers are dropping like flies.
There are millions a-marchin’ in the street,
Carrying signs to remind us, we are sovereign and free.

You better stop.
People, what's that sound?
Everyone knows what's goin' down.
16 x Stop, people, what's that sound?
Everyone knows what's goin' down.
