New Power Generation

Lyrics: Prince Music: Prince Arranger: 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 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. 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.
