New Power Generation

Lay down your funky weapon
Yeah y'all, here we go
Pumpin' the big noise in the 90's

Pardon me for living, but this is my world too
I can't help that what's cool to us might be strange to you
Pardon me for breathing, can we borrow some of your air?
The problem with you and your kind is that you don't know love is there

Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor
Making love and music's the only things worth fighting for
We are the new power generation, we want to change the world
The only thing that's in our way is you
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas
We're sick and tired of you telling us what to do

Pardon me for thinking, but there's something under my hair
I bet you thought the lights were on but noone's living there
You think that if you tell enough lies they will see the truth?
I hope they bury your old ideas the same time they bury you

Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor
Making love and music's the only thing worth fighting for
We are the New Power Generation, we want to change the world
The only thing that's in our way is you
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas
We're sick and tired of you telling us what to do

We are the new, we are the new
Making love and music
New power, we stand

Pardon us for caring, we didn't know it was against the rules (shout it out)
We only want to love one another
Then tell me now who's the fool (tell me, tell me)
No father, no mother, no sister, no brother, nobody can make me stop
Said if you didn't come to party child, I think you better get up offa my block

Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor
Making love and music's the only thing worth fighting for
We are the New Power Generation, we want to change the world
The only thing that's in our way is you
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas
We're sick and tired of you telling us what to do
Why don't you just be happy, baby
We are the New Power Generation, we want to change the world
The only thing that's in our way is you
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas
We're sick and tired of you telling us what to do

New Power Generation, you've got to rearrange
We are the New Power Generation, you've gotta give up all the fight
We gotta try to love one another, baby
We are the New Power Generation
We are the New Power Generation
We are the New Power Generation
