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

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
