Once again, I need the name of a song, that I know the chorus to, but I don't know the title or the artist.

It goes something like this...

"Stop children, what's that sound, everybody look whats going down."

Can anyone ID it for me?

Buffalo Springfield, "For What It's Worth." c. 1965, maybe written by Steven Stills, later of Crosby, Stills & Nash. (& Young).

Here are the lyrics:

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

Thank you kindly, Lee... You've made me, my roommate(who's been dying for that song), and someone else(who plans on expressing his gratitude with a big wet one) very happy.
