__________________________

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man been elected unfair
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

/ E - A - / / / / E D A C /

There's battle lines being drawn
If you're not on the right then you really must be wrong
Good people not speaking their minds
Getting so much confusion as they're reading the signs
I think it's time we stop, hey, stand our ground
Everybody turn their tvs down

What a field-day on the streets
a thousand protesters on their feet
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, you're not on our side
It's time we stop, hey, wake this town
Everybody bring that white house down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when they make you afraid
Change the laws, the man come take your freedoms away

We better stop, hey, look around
Everybody get our country found
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody turn your tv down
Stop, now, look what we found
Whole lotta lying going down
Stop, Bush and his crowd
Before they bring our nation down

People dying in Taqrit
Iraqi lives not worth more than meat
Our soldiers crossing the line
between whats right and what others want to find
Its time we stop leave that ground
no reason to tear that country down

Stop hey look around
no nuclear weapons to be found
yeah stop now look around
only corporations gaining ground
stop now before too late
lets fuck that bush and make our country great

we gotta join together with our friends
stretch out our arms tell them now its time to end
no more manipulation of the words
we stand for truth and it really must be heard

Its time to stop hey turn around
send our soldiers homeward bound
stop now listen round
burn a bush in washingtown
stop yeah whats that sound
everyone turn you tv down
stop hey wake this town
everyone tear the whitehouse down

Lyrics and Chords


There's something 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

/ E - A - / / / / E D A C /

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going 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
It's time we 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
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
