| D7 | G7 | |
| There's | something happening | here |
| D7 | G7 | |
| And what it | is ain't exactly | clear |
| D7 | G7 | |
| There's a | man with a gun over | there |
| D7 | G7 | |
| Telling | me that I've got to be | ware |
| Chorus | ||
| D7 | C | |
| Think it's time we | stop children, | what's that sound |
| G | F |
| Everybody look what's | goin'... down. |
There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right, if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
'Re getting so much resistance from behind
| Chorus |
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singin' songs, and carryin' signs
Mostly say "hooray for our side"
| Chorus |
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step outta line, the men come, and take you away.
| Chorus |
