49 Bye-Byes / For What It's Worth [Live at Berkeley 1971]

Forty-nine reasons all in a line
All of them good ones, all of them lies
Driftin' with my lady, we're oldest of friends
Need a little work and there's fences to mend

Steady girl be my world
'Til the drifter come now she's gone
I let that man play his hand
I let them go, how was I to know?
I'm down on my knees
Nobody left to please

Now it's over, they left in the spring
Her and the drifter looking for beautiful things
Do you think you can come clap your hands

You know there’s something happening here
What it isn’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I better be aware
And we got to stop, hey children what's that sound
Everybody look what’s going down

Look what's going down, oh yes
What a field day, what a heat
Must have been a thousand people standing in the street
Singing songs and they’re carrying signs
Mostly say "hurray for our side"
And we got to stop hey children, what's that sound
Everybody, look what's going down

Look what’s going down
Look what’s going down
Look what’s going down
Look what’s going down, oh

Cause you know that paranoia, it strikes deep
And into your life, it’s gonna creep
And it starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men coming gonna shoot you down

We got to stop it, children what’s that sound
We got to stop, hey children what’s that sound
We got to stop, hey what’s that sound

Look what’s going down
Look what’s going down
Look what’s going down
Oh, look what’s going down
