Lyrics

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
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 speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
Stop, children
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
Down
What a field day for the heat (ohhh ohhh ohhh)
A thousand people in the street (ohhh ohhh ohhh)
Singing songs and carrying signs (ohhh ohhh ohhh)
Mostly saying, "Hooray for our side"
Stop, children
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, a man comes to take you away
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
Stop, children
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
