There's something happening here.
What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there,
Telling me I've got to beware.

There's battle lines being drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds -
Getting so much resistance from behind.

Paranoia strikes deep.
Into your life it will creep.
Starts when you're always afraid -
Step out of line, the man comes and takes you away.

I think it's time we stop -
Hey! What's that sound?
Everybody look
What's going down.
