There's something happening here
MI LAAnd what it is ain't exactly clear
MI LAThere's a man with a gun over there
Telling me that I've got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what goin' down
There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right, if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind ...CHORUS
CHORUS #2
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
LA DO (D) MI MI LA MI LAEverybody look what goin' down
MI LA LA SOL MI
What a field day for the heat ooooh
MI LA LA SOL MIA thousand people in the street ooooh
Singin' songs, and carryin' signs ooooh
MI LA LA SOL MIMostly say "hooray for our side" ooooh ...CHORUS #2
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 (REPEAT SEVERAL TIMES)
