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've 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
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
A thousand people
in the street
Singing songs
and carrying signs
They mostly say
"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
You step out of line
the men come
and take you away
You'd better stop
hey what's that sound
everybody look
what's going down
better stop
Hey what's that sound
everybody look
what's going down
better stop
Now what's that sound
everybody look
what's going down
better stop
Children what's that sound
everybody look
what's going down
