49 Bye - Byes / For What It's Worth (Live at Berkeley 1971)

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

Steady girl she was 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?

Oh yeah, oh yeah
You know there's something happening here
What it isn't ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I'd 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 for the heat
Must've 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-oh-ooh

Well, as you all probably know, this is the part of the song
Where I start to running down, you know
Gonna tell everybody where it's at, you know, all that stuff

Well, this is primarily a music show
So I think I'll get back to some music

'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 outta 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, alright
There's nothing there, thank you
