Lay down your funky weapon.
|
Yeah y'all, here we go
|
Pumpin' the big noise in the 90's.
|
|
Pardon me 4 living, but this is my world 2
|
I can't help that what's cool to us might be strange to u
|
Pardon me 4 breathing, can we borrow some of your air?
|
The problem with u and your kind is that u 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 4.
|
We r the new power generation, we want 2 change the world.
|
The only thing that's in our way is u.
|
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas,
|
We're sick and tired of u telling us what 2 do.
|
|
Pardon me 4 thinking, but there's something under my hair
|
I bet u thought the lights were on but noone's living there
|
U think that if u tell enough lies they will see the truth?
|
I hope they bury your old ideas the same time they bury u
|
|
Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor
|
Making love and music's the only things worth fighting 4.
|
We r the new power generation, we want 2 change the world.
|
The only thing that's in our way is u.
|
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas,
|
We're sick and tired of u telling us what 2 do.
|
|
We r the new, We r the new, We r 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 u didn't come 2 party child, I think u better get up offa my block.
|
|
Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor
|
Making love and music's the only things worth fighting 4.
|
We r the new power generation, we want 2 change the world.
|
The only thing that's in our way is u.
|
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas,
|
We're sick and tired of u telling us what 2 do.
|
Why don't u just be happy, baby.
|
|
[chorus repeated with this sung over it]
|
Go on and get up offa my block
|
Get up offa my block, because
|
Love is there if you'd just open up 2 it.
|
If you'd just believe your whole world would change
|
|
New power generation, you've got to rearrange. We've got
|
We r the new power generation, you've gotta give up all the fight
|
We gotta try 2 love one another, baby. we r the new power generation
|
We r the new power generation.
|
We r the new power generation.
