Remember this one?

For What It's Worth
Stephen Stills

There's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there, tellin me I got to beware

Think it's time we stop children what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Battle lines being drawn, nobody's right if everybody wrong
Young people speakin their minds, getting so much resistance from behind

Think it's time we stop children 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

Think it's time we stop children what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep
Starts when you're always afraid,
Step outta line man come and take you away

Think it's time we stop children what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down



I remember the Muppets performing this one on the Muppet Show. It was a little scary even with them depicting it as a bunch of woodland animals and a hunter. Of course, it's really about people protesting against the "approved" opinion, and thus very appropriate nowadays.
