Something happenin' here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to bewareIt's time we stop, children
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going downBattle 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, children
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going downWhat a field day for the heat
Thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly sayin', hooray for our sideIt's time we stop, children
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going downParanoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
Starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line
The man come and takes you awayIt's time we stop, children
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going downStop, children
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going downStop, children
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
