Am Dm7
Yeah y'all, here we go
F7 Am
Pumping the big noise in the 90's
[Instrumental]
Am Dm7 F7 Am
[Verse 1]
Am Dm7
Pardon me for living, but this is my world too
F7 Am
I can't help that what's cool to us might be strange to you
Am Dm7
Pardon me for breathing, can we borrow some of your air?
F7 Am
The problem with you and your kind is that you don't know love is there
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm7 G
Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor
E E7
Making love and music's the only things worth fighting for
[Chorus]
Am Dm7
We are the new power generation, we want to change the world
F7 Am
The only thing that's in our way is you
Am Dm7
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas
F7 Am
We're sick and tired of you telling us what to do
[Verse 2]
Am Dm7
Pardon me for thinking, but there's something under my hair
F7 Am
I bet you thought the lights were on but no one's living there
Am Dm7
You think that if you tell enough lies they will see the truth?
F7 Am
I hope they bury your old ideas the same time they bury you
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm7 G
Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor
E E7
Making love and music's the only things worth fighting for
[Chorus]
Am Dm7
We are the new power generation, we want to change the world
F7 Am
The only thing that's in our way is you
Am Dm7
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas
F7 Am
We're sick and tired of you telling us what to do
[Interlude]
D# E
We are the new
A Asus4
We are the new, we are the new
Dm Am Dm
Making love and music
F7 E N.C.
New power, we stand
[Verse 3]
Am Dm7
Pardon us for caring, we didn't know it was against the rules (shout it out)
F7 Am
If we only want to love one another then tell me now who's the fool (tell me, tell me)
Am Dm7
No father, no mother, no sister, no brother, nobody can make me stop
F7 Am
Said if you didn't come to party child, I think you better get up of my block
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm7 G
Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor
E E7
Making love and music's the only things worth fighting for
[Chorus]
Am Dm7
We are the new power generation, we want to change the world (yeah)
F7 Am
The only thing that's in our way is you (you, you, you, you)
Am Dm7
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas
F7 Am
We're sick and tired of you telling us what to do (why don't you just be happy, baby?)
Am Dm
We are the new power generation, we want to change the world (Go on and get up off my block, uh)
F7 Am
The only thing that's in our way is you (Get up off my block, because love is there)
Am Dm7
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas (If you'd just open up to it)
F7 Am
We're sick and tired of you telling us what to do (If you'd just believe your whole world would change)
[Outro]
Am Dm7 F7 Am
New power generation, you've got to rearrange
Am Dm7 F7
We are the new power generation, you've got to give up all the fight
Am
We got to try to love one another, baby
Am Dm7 F7 Am
We are the new power generation
Am Dm7 F7 Am
We are the new power generation
