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
Everybody look what's going down
Battle lines being drawn,
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Some people speaking their minds
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,
There's a thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "Hooray for our kind!"
It's time we stop,
Children, what's that sound,
Everybody look what's going down
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,
Get out of line, the men come and take you away
It's time we stop,
Children, what's that sound,
Everybody look what's going
We got to stop,
Children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going
We got to stop,
Children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going
We got to stop,
Children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
