There's something happening here But 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 There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Are getting so much resistance from behind It's time we stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down What a field day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly saying hooray for our side It's time we 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 and the man come And take you away We better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down We better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down We better stop Now, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down We better stop Yeah, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down
