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
