[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Well, it's time to stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 2]
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Gettin' so much resistance from behind

[Chorus]
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Verse 3]
What a field day for the heat (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Thousand peoplе in the street (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Singing songs and they're carryin' signs (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Thеy say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Instrumental Break]

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

[Chorus]
You better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Post-Chorus]
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop
Everybody look what's going down

[Outro]
Stop
You better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
And it's going down
It's going down
So you better stop
You better watch
You better listen
You better stop
Children, children
What's that sound? What's that sound?
What's that sound? What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
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
Nobody's right, stop
If everybody's wrong
Listen
Stop
