Prince

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 c the truth?
I hope they bury ur old ideas the same time they bury u
Lay down ur funky weapon, come join us on the floor
Making love and music's the only thing 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.
Ur old fashioned music, ur 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 4 caring, we didn't know it was against the rules (shout it out)
We only want 2 love 1 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 ur funky weapon, come join us on the floor
Making love and music's the only thing 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.
Ur old fashioned music, ur 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 u'd just open up 2 it
If u'd just believe ur whole world would change
New Power Generation, u've got to rearrange
We r the New Power Generation, u'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
