There's something happening here
            E5                A5
And what it is ain't exactly clear
          E5                   A5
There's a man with a gun over there
        E5                     A5
Telling me that I've got to beware

                      E5                D5
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
A5                   C5  ( D5 )  E5   E5  A5  E5  A5
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 ...

              E5           D5
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
A5                   C5  ( D5 )  E5   E5  A5  E5  A5
Everybody look what goin' down

 E5                       A5    A5 G5 E5
What a field day for the heat ooooh
  E5                       A5      A5 G5 E5
A thousand people in the street  ooooh
         E5                   A5     A5 G5 E5
Singin' songs, and carryin' signs  ooooh
        E5                   A5     A5 G5 E5
Mostly say "hooray for our side"  ooooh ...

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
