By Stephen Stills w/5th verse by Alexa Hamilton

There's somethin' 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 goin' 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,
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
People are speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop,
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step outta line, the man come and take you away
You better stop,
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
[repeat]

There's somethin' happening here
The skies are no longer clear
And the truth is a tissue of lies
The Ice caps are melting while the innocent die
When we gonna stop,
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
Stop now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
[repeat]

What's goin' down
What's goin' down
What's goin' down
What's goin' down
