The New Generation Lyrics

[Intro]
We're the new generation
The new generation
And we believe now
We believe

[Verse 1]
It's a televised revolution, we want democracy
We fight all the pressure, we're tired of murder and grief
We want our freedom like the Statue of Liberty
We want to see our children live better than you and me
The whole city is a dance floor, it's a celebration
We want the whole world to see things are really changin'
From Africa to Asia, through Europe across the seas
Everybody's got their head up and nobody's on their knees

[Hook]
And the bombs would stop flying and we gaze a quiet sky
And we stand in love and wonder at the miracle gone by
And it ain't like it used to be cause it's better than it was

We're the new generation, we believe in love
We believe in love
We're the new generation, the new generation

[Verse 2]
Now we're sharing our money, now we're helping tough lives
Now we're calling up our brothers saying "I apologize"
Love is stronger than the Terminator, love's in every baby's eyes
Your crawling out of that dirty gutter with tuxedos on your mind
You want a glass of champagne, you want it paid for by the pain
Shout your national anthem for all your country men that died in vain
You're the new prince ruler, the red dog Cairo King
An international inspiration, the number one topic most trending
[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Now you can't get between us, we're connected like mother and child
It's a worldwide network, you better log on before you die
Cause the old god is over and the new way is baptized
And now we're storming through the palace singing, dancing, you know why
Waving peace flags on the balcony, yeah we just changed history
And we all join hands and thank God for listening

[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Robin Thicke captures the heart and soul of the new generation in this song from his Love After War album. It paints pictures of a free, loving world that’s different from the chaos and war happening around us. As he loves to do on every project of his, he channels Marvin Gaye, this time in the What’s Going On? era.”
