In honor of the students who spoke out and organized; the legislators who took action after years of sitting on their hands (with a few exceptions); and the governor who has promised to sign three gun accountability bills on Wednesday, April 11:
Lyrics:
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
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 a-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 men 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
A remarkable amount of organizing happened in the 70 days-since the Parkland shooting-to bring this all together.
