There's something happening 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 to stop, hell, what's that sound?
Everybody, look what's going down
There's battle lines bein' drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
And we stop, Lord, what's that sound?
Everybody, look what's going down
Can't help our people in need
Muddy water in the street
There's no sense of pride
I wanna know who's really on our side
I say 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, they're coming to take you away
I say we stop, Lord, what's that sound?
Everybody, look what's going down
One more time
I say we stop, yeah, what's that sound?
Everybody, look what's going down
I say we stop, yeah, what's that sound?
Everybody, look what's going down
