New Generation Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

People raise your voices 

Don't get caught in that mess 

Like a fly in a spider's web 

Is it 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 

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 

People raise your voices 

Don't fall into 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 

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 

Do you feel the power 

Do you feel the power 

Baptized in 'lectronic 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 

He's lived a thousand times before 

And seen the world from 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 feel just like a babe 

Daddy holding you tight and safe 

Hush babe everything's 

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 

It's a new generation 

It's 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 hallucinaion 

It's a new generation 

It's a new generation 

It's a new generation 

It's a new generation 

It's a new generation
