For What It's Worth / Mr. Soul

TV Host: "Now we have five fellows who call themselves the Buffalo Springfield."
(Cheering)
"Please no overtime"
(Laughter)
"I'm not sure where they got there name, but I know that in the past year, they sold enough records and made enough money to buy Buffalo and half of Springfield"
(Laughter)
"Now right now they're going to sing and play one of their big hits, The Buffalo Springfield!"
(Cheering)

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

(Change to Mr. Soul)

Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on.

I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said, You're strange, but don't change, and I let her.

In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster?
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
