There's something happening here

What it is aint exactly clear

But there's a man with a gun over there

And he's telling me i got to beware



I think it's time we stop

Children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down



The battle lines have been drawn

Nobody's right - when everybody's wrong

Young people speaking their minds

But carrying so much resistance from behind



I think it's time we stop

Children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down



What a field day for the beast

One thousand people in the streets

Singing songs and carrying signs

Some that say "hooray for our side"

Oh lord



I think it's time we stop

Children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down



Paranoia strikes deep

It cuts into your soul when you sleep

It starts when you're always afraid

Step outta line, the man comes

And takes you away



I think it's time we stop

Children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down
