There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there He's telling me I got to beware Look out now Battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind You better stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down What a field-day for the heat Thousands of people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say hooray for their side
You better stop, hey, 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 comes and take you away You better stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Hey, what's going on What's happening here Will somebody tell me
