Singing songs and carrying signs
A thousand people in the street
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
There's battle lines being drawn
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Young people speaking their minds
Paranoia strikes deep
Children, what's that sound?
I think it's time we stop
Everybody look what's going down
Everybody look what's going down
Everybody look what's going down
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop
There's a man with a gun over there
Hey, what's that sound?
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Everybody look what's going down
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Stop, children, what's that sound?
Stop, now, what's that sound?
Getting so much resistance from behind
The man come and take you away
You step out of line
What a field-day for the heat?
We better stop, hey, what's that sound?
