Pittsburgh's G20 Soundtrack: #7

Events are developing unraveling too quickly for a one-song-per-day plan. Adding songs on the fly will throw off the numbering, but I believe at this point that numbering is likely to be relatively low on the problem list.

Written 43 years ago, this Stephen Stills lyric may be unfolding on Pittsburgh's streets as we speak. At #63 on Rolling Stone's list of greatest songs and #7 on the Pittsburgh G20 Soundtrack, from a band that made the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on three albums: For What It's Worth.

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
