Jefferson Airplane – Stop Childeren Whats That Sound lyrics
There's something happening here
What it is aint exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Tellin me I got to be where
I think it's time we
Stop
Childeren what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin down
There's battle lines bein brawn
Nobodys right if everybodys wrong
Young people speaking their minds
I'm gettin so much resistence
Far behind

Its 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 carrying signs
Mostly sayb 'hooray for our side'
Its 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 always afraid
Step out of line
The men come and take you away
We better stop
Hey what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin down
Stop
Hey what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin down
...............

    Fifty one years ago this Saturday, Stephen Stills, then in Buffalo Springfield, was on his way into Hollywood to hear live music on the Sunset Strip. But in one of those defining rock & roll moments, what he encountered was a rally: hundreds, if not thousands, of kids protesting a new curfew and the imminent closing of one club, Pandora’s Box, by way of a fake “funeral” for it.

    “The commercial merchants on Sunset Boulevard in a certain area decided that the element of young people on the street every night was not conducive to commercial enterprise,” Stills said in a 1971 interview. “A bunch of kids got together on a street corner and said we aren’t moving. About three busloads of Los Angeles police showed up, who looked very much like storm troopers. … And I looked at it and said, ‘Jesus, America is in great danger.'”

    Within weeks, Stills had written – and Buffalo Springfield had recorded – a song inspired by that night, “For What It’s Worth.” With its emphasis on Stills’ spooked voice, drummer Dewey Martin’s ominous snare drum and Neil Young’s warning-bell two-note guitar part in the verse, the track became the band’s only hit, peaking at Number Seven in the spring of 1967. Yet equally striking was its sound: The eerily quiet song captured the uneasy mood of the moment that extended beyond Los Angeles to Vietnam, and lyrics about “a man with a gun over there” and “young people speaking their minds/Getting so much resistance from behind” were the sound of the rock counterculture cementing its socially conscious voice.
