Song Lyrics

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

Pardon me for living, but this is my world to
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, ooh
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas
We're sick and tired of you telling us what to do, ooh

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 (oh, yeah)
We are the new power generation, we want to change the world (oh)
The only thing that's in our way is you(you, you)
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas (oh)
We're 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 (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), no mother (no), no sister (no), no brother (no), nobody can make me stop
So if you didn't come to party child
I think you better get up off of my block

Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor
Making love and music's the only things worth fighting for (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
We are the new power generation, we want to change the world (yeah)
The only thing that's in our way is you (you, you, you, 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 (gone and get up off of my block, uh)
we want to change the world
The only thing that's in our way is you, ooh (get up off of my block because love is there)
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas (if you just open up to me)
We're sick and tired of you telling us what to do (if you just believe, oh)

New power generation
You've got to rearrange (oh)
We've got
We are the new power generation
You've gotta give up all the fight
We gotta try to love one another, yeah
We are the new power generation
We are the new power generation
