______ will do nearly any task,
And as for compensation, there's little he would ask.
Take a woman like you
To get through to ______.

well done ponds! you're up next!

Well, for what it's worth*, I thought it was Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young but apparently it was a previous endeavour.

Cracking song though.

I recall a version in the 90s with some additional lines about AK-47s but can't remember who.

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

there's battle lines being drawn
nobody's right if everybody's wrong
young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance from behind
i think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
everybody look what's going down

what a field-day for the heat
a thousand people in the street
singing songs and carrying signs
mostly say, hooray for our side
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
you step out of line, the man come and take you away
we better stop, hey, what's that sound
everybody look what's going down
stop, hey, what's that sound
everybody look what's going down
stop, now, what's that sound
everybody look what's going down
stop, children, what's that sound
everybody look what's going down

[DS23]

it is one of the defining protest songs of the 60's.

[DaveB]

Nope, no idea.

[DS23]

named after a steamroller i believe.


ex members went on to become mega stars

[DS23]

nope but the right kind of area - slightly less pop: fewer hits.
