There's something happening here
And 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,
Yeah...
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people
Should be speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
We gotta stop, children,
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down, yeah,
What's going down,
Down, down, down...
And what a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs,
Mostly say "hooray for our side"
I think it's time we stop, children,
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down,
Yeah, hmm, oh, yeah, it's on me...
Paranoia strikes deep into your life,
It will surely creep
Well, it starts when you're always afraid
You step out line,
The men come and tear you away
We gotta stop, children,
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, children,
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, children,
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, hey,
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down,
Yeah...
What's going down,
Down, down, down,
Hmm, what's going down
I think it's time we stop
