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

[Chorus]
It's time we stop, hey, 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
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and a-carryin' signs
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side"
[Chorus]
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

[Guitar Solo]

[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 takes you down

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

[Outro]
You got to stop, hey, what's that sound?
Look what's going down
