Something's 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      Battle lines bein' drawn   Nobody's right if everyone's wrong   People speaking their minds   Getting so much resistance from behind      Yeah, stop, children, what's that sound?   Everybody look what's going down   Stop, hey, what's that sound?   Everybody look what's going down      What a field day for the heat   Ten 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   Stop, hey, what's that sound?   Everybody look what's going down      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      Yeah, stop, children, what's that sound?   Everybody look what's going down   Stop, hey, what's that sound?   Everybody look what's going down      Stop, hey, what's that sound?   Everybody look what's going   You better stop      Stop   You better stop   Stop   You better stop
