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 if everybody's wrong

Young people speakin' their minds

Gettin' 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 sayin', "hooray for our side"



(It's 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

Step out of line, the man come and take you away



(We better)

Stop, hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look - what's goin' down?

(We better)

Stop, hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look - what's goin' down?

(We better)

Stop, now, what's that sound?

Everybody look - what's goin' down?

(We better)

Stop, children, what's that sound?

Everybody look - what's goin' down?
