(originally by Buffalo Springfield) There's something happening here But what it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind It's time we stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? What a field day for the heat There's a thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" 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 men come and take you away We better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? Stop Now, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? Stop Now, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? Stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down?
