Texty: Crystal Bowersox. Farmer's Daughter. For What It's Worth.

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

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

We gotta stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down, yeah
What's going down, down, down, down

What a field day for the heat
A 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, yeah

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will surely creep
Well, it starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We gotta stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Now stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down, yeah
What's going down, down, down, down
What's going down
I think it's time we stopped

There's something happening here
What it is, ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
