Lyrics

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
