There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
A-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

I think it’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down

What a field-day for the heat
There’s a thousand people in the street
Singing songs and a-carrying signs
Mostly say hooray for our side

I think 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, the man come and take you away

We 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
We better stop, hey
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
