Lyrics

Something happenin' here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware It's time we stop, children What's that sound Everybody look what's going down Battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind It's time we stop, children What's that sound Everybody look what's going down What a field day for the heat Thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly sayin', hooray for our side It's time we stop, children What's that sound Everybody look what's going down Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep Starts when you're always afraid Step out of line The man come and takes you away It's time we stop, children What's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children What's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children What's that sound Everybody look what's going down
