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 and everybody's wrong
Young people speakin' their minds
Getting' so much resistance from behind

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' 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 and the man come and take you away

Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
Stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down

Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down…
