[Verse 1]
There's something happening here
What it is not exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

[Chorus]
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

[Vese 2]
Battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everyone's wrong
People speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

[Chorus]
Yeah, stop children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
Yeah, stop children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

[Verse 3]
What a field-day for the heat
Ten thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
[Chorus]
Yeah, stop children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
Yeah, stop children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

[Verse 4]
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man's coming to take you away

[Chorus]
Yeah, stop children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
Yeah, stop children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
Yeah, stop children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
Yeah, stop children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

[Outro]
You better stop!
Stop
You better stop!
Stop
You better stop!
