For What It's Worth (Stop, Hey What's That Sound)
Buffalo Springfield

There is somethin' happening here
an what it is, aint exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
tellin' me, I've got to beware

I think it's time we
Stop,
Children,
What's that sound?
everbody look what's going down

There's bad lines being drawn
and nobody's right, if everybody's wrong
young people speaking there minds
are getting so much resistence,
from behind

I think it's time we
stop,
Hey,
what's that sound?
everybody look whats going down

What a field day for the heat
(ooo-ooo-ooo in background)
A thousand people in the street
(ooo-ooo-ooo)
singin' songs, and a carrying signs
(ooo-ooo-ooo)
mostly say, hooray for our side
(ooo-ooo-ooo)

I think 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



Get Together - Youngbloods

Love is but a song we sing
And fear’s the way we die.
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry.
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why.
C’mon people now
Smile on your brother
Ev’rybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some will come and some will go
And we shall surely pass.
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last.
We are but a moment’s sunlight
Fading in the grass.
C’mon people now
Smile on your brother
Ev’rybody get together
Try to love one another right now
If you hear the song we sing
You will understand.
You hold the key to love and fear
In your trembling hand.
Just one key unlocks them both
It’s there at your command
C’mon people now
Smile on your brother
Ev’rybody get together
Try to love one another right now

8. Lives in the Balance - Jackson Browne (also done by Richie Havens)
I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is driven to war

And there's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs

On the radio talk shows and the T.V.
You hear one thing again and again
How the U.S.A. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can't take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can't even say the names

They sell us the President the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire
