Lyrics For What It's Worth - Carl Carlton & The Songdogs, Eric Burdon, Max Buskohl

For What It's Worth

Walking in the rain
The feeling comes again
Something in my head tells me
I’m nothing
Sorry and ashamed
All the lies I couldn’t face
Always been afraid of who I am
Forced to hide away
Nothing is wrong
They say
Leave it alone, and it will go away
For the lost and brave
For the lonely strays
For the ones we left behind
Far away
Don’t ask me why
For the lost and brave
For the ones who stayed
For the ones we left behind
Far away from you we run
Do not ask why
The choice I didn’t make
This isn’t a mistake
The man beyond the glasses
Girl, you’re somethin'
The sun will rise again
All the clouds inside my head clear away
I know just who I am
I won’t hide away
Overcome your hate
Shield it alone
Let the people say
For the lost and brave
For the lonely strays
For the ones we left behind
Far away
Don’t ask me why
For the lost and brave
For the ones who stayed
For the ones we left behind
Far away from you we run
Do not ask why
Why we hate
A different state of mind and heart
It’s gone on far too long
We are here to say
For the lost and brave
For the lonely strays
For the ones we left behind
Far away
Don’t ask me why
For the lost and brave
For the ones who stayed
For the ones we left behind
Far away from you we run
Do not ask why
Why
We learn to not ask why
Why
We learn to not ask why
Why
We don’t ask why
