There´s something happening here
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

Battle lines being drawn
Nobody´s right if everyone´s wrong
People speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

Yeah, stop children, what´s that sound
Everybody look what´s going down

What a field-day for the heat
Ten thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

I think it´s time we stop, children, 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

Stop, children, what´s that sound
Everybody look what´s going down
Stop, hey, what´s that sound
Everybody look what´s going down

You better stop!
Stop
You better stop!
Stop
You better stop!
