There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
He's telling me I got to beware
Look out now
Battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
You better stop, hey, 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
Mostly say hooray for their side
You better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, 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
Step out of line
the man comes and take you away
You better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's going on
What's happening here
Will somebody tell me
