Oingo Boingo - New Generation Lyrics
People raise your voices, dont get caught in that messLike a fly in a spiders web, is it true more is lessHerded like a happy flock to the big t.v. slaughterWhy dont you break that leash, said the heifer to the sheepIts a new generationIts a hallucinationIts a mystic vibrationIts just intimidationIts the will of the peopleIts the church with the steepleIts the sacred devotionTo an unhealthy notionPeople raise your voices, dont get into that trapIf your friends and your neighbors pushWhy dont you push them backDont you think the time has comeTo stand up and be heardAint no use to try and waitFor the magic wordIts a new generationIts an infatuationIts a beautiful bodyBoth erotic and deadlyIts the fear of the futureIts just surgeons and suturesIts a spandex obsessionIts a lasting impressionDo you feel the powerDo you feel the powerBaptized in electronic waterProdigal sons and beautiful daughtersWith smiles and bows and rosy cheeksAnd the righteous bathDeath to the freaksDo you feel the powerDo you feel the powerFrom the man whose voice sounds reassuringCompletely firm and so alluring, likes hes lived a thousand times beforeAnd seen the world from shore to shoreWith the calmness and tranquility that oozes credibilityWith the wisdom and the confidence that seem to scream out common senseAnd it makes you feel just like a babeDaddy holding you tight and safeHush babe everythings all right, daddys gonna stay with you tonightNow hes got you by the balls, he can sell you anything at allFrom morality to diamond rings to genocide to magazinesFrom religion to cosmology to the end of a democracyIts a new generationIts a divine inspirationAlways ready to followEver willing to swallowAll the doctors prescriptionsAll the mystic inscriptionsIts the spandex obsessionIts a lasting impressionIts the calm meditationOf a tranquilized nationIts a hallucinationIts a new generation
