There's somethin' happenin' here
But 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 going down
There's battle lines being 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 going down
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs
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
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'
We better stop now
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop, children
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
