When police clashed with young music club goers on the Sunset Strip in ’66, Steven Stills quickly wrote “For What It’s Worth.” “Bluebird” was the follow-up single. Here the band flips the order and makes it a medley, with David replicating the searing guitars of both Stills (left channel) and Neil Young (right).

Steve: Buffalo Springfield was a really big influence on the band. Like Los
Lobos, they were polyglots unique to their time.

Louie: We knew we wanted to do a Buffalo Springfield song, and ended up with two because we couldn't decide!

David: When I was a teenager, Buffalo Springfield was one of my favorite bands. I just pitched the idea: “Let's see how close we can get to the originals. Just for the fun of it.”

LYRICS:
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?
