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've 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 been drawn
And nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
And getting so much resistance from behind
[Verse 4]
I think 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 carrying signs
Mostly saying hooray for our side
[Verse 6]
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
[Verse 7]
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life, it will creep
It starts when your always afraid
You step out of line, the man comes and he'll take you away
[Verse 8]
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
[Verse 9]
Stop, children what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
Stop, children what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
