60's protest music is the only thing getting me through these insane times. I just hope my generation writes more of these bangers. Our current antiwar movement lacks the hope and optimism of the 60's. Where are our Yippies, a Phil Oachs, etc.??

[ElephantInTheRoom]

Crazy that this came out in 1966, and here we are almost 60 years later, and theres still something going down..

[jayleeper]

It is 1966, I am 14 working cleaning construction sites and this is pounding out of my new transistor radio. Still feels the same.

[AlienGrass]

Crazy how history tends to repeat itself… song is timeless and stands as true as it did close to 60 years ago

[cowprez]

I'm 70 years old and remember when this song first came out. It is still applicable now as it was then. Sad.

[RichardX]

This song, "Fortunate Son", and "All Along the Watchtower" are on the soundtrack to pretty much any movie with a Vietnam war scene.

[Nekrist]

“Nobody's right, if everybody's wrong”, those lyrics man...

[stephenfox]

A song that still holds revelance in America's situation today.

[strangewayfaringstranger]

This song is just as relevant now, as it was then. Everything going on in our country right now, this gives me the chills.

[farahzghiche]

I'm here because of andy's guitar lessons, and this is so beautiful can't wait to play it with my guitar !
Edit: don't give up guys! It's gonna be hard at the beginning ur hands will hurt but it's gonna be okay! 💜

[momaverick]

Listen everybody, it's still happening "Right Now" !!!

[DickyReeves]

“Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you’re always afraid. Step out of line, the man comes and takes you away…”

[bryanbarnes]

"Battle lines being drawn. Nobody's right if everybody's wrong." Words that can describe our situation right now. We need to come together and work things out civilly or we will all perish together.

[PitfallHarry]

One of the greatest 60s songs, without a doubt. An absolute classic.

[johnheyyuri]

1967, Los Angeles, running around town in a '63 Chevy Biscayne and just kept hearing it, couldn't get enough. Times were very, very similar and I'm having deja vu all over again.😆

[brucewasenius]

I was 20 in 1968 and in the Navy.
I remember the division of the country and young people fighting in the streets.
This song is all about it.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me, I got to beware

[Chorus]
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 2]
There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Are gettin’ so much resistance from behind

[Chorus]
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 3]
What a field day for the heat (Ooo-ooo-ooo)
A thousand people in the street (Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Singing songs and a-carryin’ signs (Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooo-ooo-ooo)

[Chorus]
It's time we stopped
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 4]
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

[Chorus]
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[FellVoice]

Wow! This music evokes it's era but at the same time remains timeless.

[BrendanPramjee]
