Something's happening here

What it is ain't exactly clear

There's a man with a gun over there

Telling me I got to beware



It's time we stop, children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down



Battle lines being drawn

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong

Young people speaking their minds

And they're gettin' so much resistance from behind



It's time we stop, people, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down



What a field-day for the heat

Thousands of people in the street

Singing songs and carrying signs

You know, they're mostly sayin' hooray for our side



You better stop, children, 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 he'll take you away



It's time we stop, children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down
