Oingo Boingo — New Generation

[Verse 1] People, raise your voices Don't get caught in that mess Like a fly in a spider's web It is true, more is less? Herded like a happy flock To the big TV slaughter "Why don't you break that leash?" Said the heifer to the sheep [Chorus] It's a new generation It's a hallucination It's a mystic vibration It's just intimidation It's the will of the people It's the church with the steeple It's the sacred devotion To an unhealthy notion [Verse 2] People, raise your voices Don't get caught in that trap If your friends and your neighbors push Why don't you push them back? Don't you think the time has come To stand up and be heard Ain't no use to try and wait For the magic word [Chorus] It's a new generation It's an infatuation It's a beautiful body Both erotic and deadly It's the fear of the future It's just surgeons and sutures It's a spandex obsession It's a lasting impression [Bridge] Do you feel the power? Do you feel the power? Baptized in electronic water Prodigal sons and beautiful daughters With smiles and bows and rosy cheeks And the righteous bath Death to the freaks Do you feel the power? Do you feel the power? From the man whose voice sounds reassuring Completely firm and so alluring Like he's lived a thousand times before And seen the world shore to shore With the calmness and tranquility that oozes credibility With the wisdom and the confidence that seem to scream out: "Common sense!" And it makes you just like a babe Daddy holding you tight and safe Hush, babe, everything's all right Daddy's gonna stay with you tonight Now he's got you by the balls; he can sell you anything at all From morality to diamond rings, to genocide to magazines From religion to cosmology, to the end of a democracy [Chorus] It's a new generation It's a divine inspiration Always ready to follow Ever willing to swallow All the doctor's prescriptions All the mystic inscriptions It's the spandex obsession It's a lasting impression It's the calm meditation Of a tranquilized nation It's a hallucination It's a new generation....
