Lyrics
[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 got to beware
[Verse 2]
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down
[Verse 3]
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Catching so much resistance from behind
[Verse 4]
It's time we stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down
[Verse 5]
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and a carrying signs
Mostly saying, hooray for both side
[Verse 6]
Think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down
[Verse 7]
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, and they'll come and take you away
[Verse 8]
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going
You better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going
You better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going
You better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down
[Verse 9]
(What's that sound?)
It's goin' down
(Oh what it's worth)
What's that sound?
Goin' down
(For what it's worth)
What's that sound?
Goin' down
(For what it's worth)
(What's that sound?)
(Goin' down)
(For what it's worth)
(What's that sound?)
