Music: Buffalo Springfield, The Chemical Brothers

by Bob Schwartz

There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear


For What It’s Worth, Buffalo Springfield (1966)

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

There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and they carrying signs
Mostly say, “Hooray for our side”

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

I think it’s time we stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?

Songwriter: Stephen Stills


Setting Sun, The Chemical Brothers (1997)

You’re the devil in me I brought in from the cold
You said your body was young but your mind was very old
You’re coming on strong and I like the way
The visions we had have faded away
You’re part of a life I’ve never had
I’ll tell you that it’s just too bad

Songwriters: Edmund John Simons, Noel Thomas Gallagher, Thomas Owen Mostyn Rowlands
