New Power Generation Lyrics By Prince

    lay down your funky weapon
    yeah y’all here we go
    pumping 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

    pre
    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 no one’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

    pre
    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

    interlude
    we are the new
    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
    if 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 of my block

    pre
    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
    we are the new power generation we want to change the world
    go on and get up off my block
    the only thing that’s in our way is you
    get up off my block because
    your old fashioned music your old ideas
    love is there if you’d just open up to it
    we’re sick and tired of you telling us what to do
    if you’d just believe your whole world would change

    new power generation you’ve got to rearrange
    we are the new power generation you’ve got to give up all the fight
    we are the new power generation
    we got to try to love one another baby
    we are the new power generation
    we are the new power generation
