There's somethin' happenin' here

What it is ain't exactly clear

There's a man with a gun over there

Tellin' me I got to beware

I think it's time we

stop, children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's goin' down

There's battle lines bein' drawn

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong

Young people speakin' their minds

Gettin' so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we

stop, hey, what's that sound

Everybody look what's goin' down

What a field-day for the heat

A thousand people in the street

Singin' songs and carryin' signs

Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's s time we

stop, hey, what's that sound

Everybody look what's goin' 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 goin', we better

Stop, hey, what's that sound

Everybody look what's goin', we better

Stop, now, what's that sound

Everybody look what's goin', we better

Stop, children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's goin' down
