lyrics
There's something happening here
What it is, is pretty clear clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Tellin' my brothers they've got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Hey what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Battle lines are being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Taking so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
What a field day for the heat (ooh-ooh-ooh)
A thousand people in the street (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Singing songs and carrying signs (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mostly say "Hooray for our side" (ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's time we 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 come and take you away
I think 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 down
What it is, is pretty clear clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Tellin' my brothers they've got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Hey what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Battle lines are being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Taking so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
What a field day for the heat (ooh-ooh-ooh)
A thousand people in the street (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Singing songs and carrying signs (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mostly say "Hooray for our side" (ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's time we 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 come and take you away
I think 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 down
