There's somethin' happenin' here.
What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there
A-tellin' me I've got to beware.
I think it's time we stop.
Listen, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down.
There's battle lines bein' drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speakin' their minds
A-gettin' so much resistance from behind.
I think it's time we stop.
Listen, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down.
What a field day for the heat.
One thousand people in the street
Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs
Mostly sayin' hooray for our side.
Now you better stop.
Listen, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down.
Paranoia strikes deep.
Into your mind it will creep.
It starts when you're always afraid.
Step out of line, the MAN come and take you away.
Now you better stop.
Listen, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'..
Now better stop.
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin'..
You better stop.
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down
