New Generation

[Verse 1]

People, raise your voices

Don't get caught in that mess

Like a fly in a spider's web

Is it true: more is less?

Herded like a happy flock

To the big TV slaughter

"Why don't you break that leash?"

Said the heifer to the sheep

[Chorus]

It's a new generation

It's a hallucination

It's a mystic vibration

It's just intimidation

It's the will of the people

It's the church with the steeple

It's the sacred devotion

To an unhealthy notion

[Verse 2]

People, raise your voices

Don't fall into that trap

If your friends and your neighbors push

Why don't you push them back?

Don't you think the time has come

To stand up and be heard?

Ain't no use to try and wait

For the magic word

[Chorus]

It's a new generation

It's an infatuation

It's a beautiful body

Both erotic and deadly

It's the fear of the future

It's just surgeons and sutures

It's a spandex obsession

It's a lasting impression

[Bridge]

Do you feel the power?

Do you feel the power?

Baptized in electronic water

Prodigal sons and beautiful daughters

With smiles and bows and rosy cheeks

And the righteous bath

Death to the freaks

Do you feel the power?

Do you feel the power?

From the man whose voice sounds reassuring

Completely firm and so alluring

Like he's lived a thousand times before

And seen the world shore to shore

With the calmness and tranquility

That oozes credibility

With the wisdom and the confidence

That seem to scream out, "Common sense!"

And it makes you just like a babe

Daddy holding you tight and safe

Hush, babe, everything's all right

Daddy's gonna stay with you tonight

Now he's got you by the balls

He can sell you anything at all

From morality to diamond rings

To genocide to magazines

From religion to cosmology

To the end of a democracy

[Chorus]

It's a new generation

It's a divine inspiration

Always ready to follow

Ever willing to swallow

All the doctor's prescriptions

All the mystic inscriptions

It's the spandex obsession

It's a lasting impression

It's the calm meditation

Of a tranquilized nation

It's a hallucination

It's a new generation

[Outro]

It's a new generation

It's a new generation

It's a new generation

It's a new generation
