It’s one of the catchiest tunes in the history of rock-n-roll. And when Stephen Stills and Neil Young and the other bandmembers created this now iconic tune, the 1960s were undergoing cultural upheaval and chaos, as the foundations of a civilzation were being destroyed.
Here are the wonderful lyrics to Buffalo Springfield’s classic tune, “For What’s It’s Worth”:
There’s something happening here
But 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
It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
What a field day for the heat (Ooh ooh ooh)
A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh)
Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mostly say, “Hooray for our side” (Ooh ooh ooh)
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
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
You better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
You better stop
Now, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
You better stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
Description: When I read the news today on my computer I was again left speechless. One article described Disney’s determination to force homosexuality upon every possible show, character, storyline, and theme park:
Another article described how illegal aliens in America gang raped girls in Minnesota this week. You might remember the leftists in Minnesota who insisted upon defunding the police. Well, here you go. Should you wish to endure the filth, here’s the article:
And the ‘trans’ jihadists continue to make the other 99.9% of the world bow at the feet of the rainbow flags.
Parents, don’t you dare stand up to these mobs, that’s the message. You’re the problem, don’t you know. Here’s that article:
Pink hair, a goatee, and he’s angry at you. Yup. Can’t make this stuff up.
Sometimes Only Songs Will Do:
Bob Dylan captured the chaos well in one of his many classics when he wrote the following:
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin’
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’
Final Thoughts: Prophecy is a dangerous calling, but I don’t think you have to be a prophet to see that the West is amidst revolution. The foundations of civilization, of critical thinking, of reality itself, are being deliberately destroyed. And it seems the few wise and mature have vacated. Now the mobs with seared consciences storm the halls left standing and demand you worship.
One could say it is sad what is occurring. But I don’t see it turning around anytime soon. It seems the West will withstand anything as long as a threshold of comfort is met. But I wonder how long it’ll be before the illegals come for more daughters, more sons, and the wokesters succeed in forbidding moms and dads from raising their own children, but will have mandatory twerk parties and pronoun camps for the urchins.
The West is reaping the whirlwind from jettisoning God, revelation, and reason. In its place, the pagans, drunk on the lies of secularism, progressivism, and postmodernism, execute the reign of terror disguised in make-up, dyed hair, and rainbows. So put on your Buffalo Springfield song again, turn it up loud, and remind yourself while the barbarians grow nearer your own door, “Something’s happening here.” Something’s going down, alright: it’s called the West.
MIND & MATTERS 
I believe “the woke” truly are not, but living in the dark. The lyrics I like are “In Christ Alone” by the Newsboys and a personal favorite, the poem “IF” copyright, 1910 by Rudyard Kipling, which offers a challenge for living that IF you can do all these things, you’ll be a Man my son! I try no not spend much time on the negative. so depressing. Heard a pastor quote Corrie Ten Bloom who said “Look within you’ll be depressed, look without you’ll be distressed, look to GOD, you’ll be at rest. So true!
