[Verse 1]
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware

[Chorus]
I think it's time we stop, children
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 2]
There's bad lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

[Chorus]
I think it's time we stop, children
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 3]
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singin' songs and they're carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
[Chorus]
I think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
I think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Outro]
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Everybody look what's going down
