Pumping the big noise in the 90's

Pardon me for living, but this is my world too

I can't help that what's cool to us might be strange to you

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

Your old fashioned music, your old ideas

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]

The only thing that's in our way is you

     Am                        Dm7
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas

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

Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor

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 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
