The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Something's 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
Battle lines bein' drawn
Nobody's right if everyon's wrong
People speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
Yeah, stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
What a field day for the heat
Ten 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' that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line the man's coming to take you away
Yeah, stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
You better stop
Stop
You better stop
Stop
You better stop
