This song is about the problems and conflicts in the world during the 1960's, particularly the Vietnam War.

I think that this song is about someone who is noticing something bad is going around. For example in stanza 5 "Mostly say hooray for our side" means that everyon isn't willing to be in the other person's shoes or understand their side. The tone is upsetting, so is the mood, like in stanza 1: "There's a man with a gun over there, telling me to beware." That either means the person is judging him or he's telling the singer to look out for others cuz the man with the gun is a racist - Z (7th) I think that this song, written by Buffalo Springfield, is about being against each other. It is making me think this becasue stanza 3 it states: "nobody's right if everybody's wrong." The theme is demanding to stop their fight because it repeats stanza 2 many times. The song it titled "Fro What it's Worth" because he is saying what he thinks should happen. Also, he wants to see and hear peace wherever he goes becasue there is always someone who has to start everything and then everyone starts joining. (7th) CCPA Huntington Park, CA

I've heard various versions of what the song is about. Once, Stephen Stills said that it was an observance of when he lived in Panama as a kid, and saw the military there smashing a few heads. But the song sounds more like a commentary on all the demonstrations at the time.
