There's somethin' happ'nin' in here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
But 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 bein' drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speakin' their minds
Not getting so much resistance from behind
You'd better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
What a field day for the heat (ooh, ooh-ooh)
A thousand people in the street (ooh, ooh-ooh)
A-singin' songs and a-carryin' signs (ooh, ooh-ooh)
That mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (ooh, ooh)
Think you better stop (ooh)
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'
You better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It hits you when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man comes and takes you away
You'd better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'
You better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'
You better stop
People, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'
You better stop
Hey (hey!) What's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down
There's somethin' happenin' here
