Lyrics: Stephen Stills
Music: Stephen Stills
Sung by Nicky Bluhm and by Scorr Law with Phil Lesh & Friends. Also by Bob Weir and Jim James.
There's something happening here
But 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
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
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 saying, 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
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound
Everybody look, what's going down
We better stop
Children, what's that sound
Everybody look, what's going down
