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
It's time we stop
What's that sound
Everybody look
What's going down
Battle lines being drawn nobody's right
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
If everybody's wrong
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Young people speaking their minds
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop, children
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)
Singing songs and carrying signs
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop
Hey, 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
You step out of line
The man come and take you away
We better stop, children
What's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
