There's somethin' happenin' here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there A-tellin' me I've got to beware

There's battle lines bein' drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speakin' their minds A-gettin' so much resistance from behind I think it's time we stop, hey What's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' down

What a field day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs Mostly sayin' hooray for our side It's time we stop, hey What's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' down
E

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 You better stop, hey What's that sound? Everybody look what's goin'... You better stop, now What's that sound? Everybody look what's goin'...

You won't go and say goodbye Then you said the fault was yours And you really were to blame Was as if to close the doors And to hide away in shame Brother you know you can't run away and hide Is it you don't want to see her cry is that why You won't go and say goodbye

It's a lie, it's a lie, don't hide your sorrows in the night Brother you know you can't run away and hide Is it you don't want to see her cry is that why You won't go and say goodbye And I know the pain is double But for her it's even worse You must face her with her trouble Though it's hurting like a curse Brother you know you can't run away and hide Is it you don't want to see her cry is that why You won't go and say goodbye Brother you know you can't run away and hide Is it you don't want to see her cry is that why You won't go and say goodbye

Who's that stomping all over my face? Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace? Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung And taking my gypsy before she's begun
Am
Dm
To singing the meaning of what's in my mind Before I can take home what's rightfully mine Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times
F

Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing

And who's all hung-up on that happiness thing? Who's trying to tune all the bells that he rings? And who's in the corner and down on the floor With pencil and paper just counting the score? And who's trying to act like he just in between? The night isn't black, it can only be screened Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see Who's coming on like he wanted to be Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing And who's coming home on the old ninety five? Who's got the feeling to keep him alive Though havin' it, sharin' it ain't quite the same It ain't no gold nugget, you can't lay a claim Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor There it is baby, don't you worry no more Who should be sleepin', but is writing this song Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing
