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
