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

Battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right, if everyone's wrong
People speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

Yeah, stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
Ten thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, 'Hooray for our side'

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

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
Step out of line, the man's coming take you away, yeah

Stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going, you better stop

Stop, [Incomprehensible], stop
Stop, you better stop
