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   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      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   Sick and tired of you telling us what to do      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   If we only wanna love one another then tell me now who's the fool   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 off my block      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   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   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
