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
.
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people should be speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
.
We gotta stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down, yeah
What's going down, down, down, down
.
What a field day for the heat
A 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, yeah

.
Paranoia strikes deep

Into your life it will surely creep
Well, it starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
.
We gotta stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

What's going down, down, down, down
What's going down
I think it's time we stopped
