There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to bewareI think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going downThere's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behindIt's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going downWhat a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our sideIt's s time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going downParanoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you awayWe 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
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
