Watching the recent news, I'm reminded of a great 60s song by Buffalo Springfield.
Anarchy in Europe and angst here in the US. Economic uncertainty and the feeling that forces beyond our understanding and control are pulling the economic strings for the world. Instead of finding common ground on social issues, our country is dividing further. There is an undercurrent of fear and anger both on the right and on the left.
There is definitely something happening here and what it is ain't exactly clear. But I don't like it....
There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
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
