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 T.V. 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 get 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 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's 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 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 

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
