[Verse 1]
There’s something happenin’ here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Tellin’ me I got to beware
[Chorus]
I think 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 speakin’ 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)
A thousand people in the street (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Singing songs and a-carryin’ signs (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mostly 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
[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]
It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going
We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
