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 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
[Chorus] 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
[Chorus]
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 off of my block.
[Chorus]
Why don't you just be happy, baby.
[Chorus]
Go on and get up off of my block Get up off of my block, because Love is there if you'd just open up to it. If you'd just believe your whole world would change
New power generation, you've got to rearrange. We've got 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.
