Lay down your funky weapon
  Yeah y'all, here we go
  Pumpin' the big noise in the 90's
  Pardon me 4 livin' but this is my world 2
  I can't help if what's cool 2 us might be strange 2 U
  Pardon me 4 breathin', can we borrow some of your air?
  The problem with U and your kind is U 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 4
  We are the New Power Generation - we wanna change the world
  The only thing that's in our way is U, ooh
  Your old fashioned music, your old ideas
  We're sick and tired of U telling us what 2 do, ooh
    Pardon me 4 thinking but there's something under my hair
  I bet U thought the lights were on but no one's livin' 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
    CHORUS
  (Oh yeah)
  (Oh)
  (U, U)
    We are the new (huh!)
  We are the new {x2}
  Makin' love and music
  New Power, (huh!) we stand
    Pardon us 4 caring, we didn't know it was against the rules (Shout it out)
  If we only wanna 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
  So if U didn't come 2 party child, I think U better get up offa my block!
    CHORUS {x2}
  (Hey yeah, yeah)
  (Yeah)
  (U, U, U, U)
  (Your old ideas)
  (Why don't U just be happy, baby?)
  (Go'n on and get up offa my block)
  (Get up offa my block, cuz love is there)
  (If U'd just open up 2 it)
  (If U'd just believe, your whole world would change, yes it will)
    New Power Generation
  U got 2 rearrange (We've got 2 rearrange)
  We are the New Power Generation
  U gotta give up all the fightin'
  We gotta try 2 love one another, yeah
  We are the New Power Generation {x3} {fade out}
