People Of The Generation

(album: Everybody Jam! - 1996)

People of the generation
You can put an end to separation
You're the living hope to save the nations
You are the answer, you are the future

You can make us stop!

People of the generation
You can put an end, to separation
You're the living hope to save the nations
You are the answer, you are the future

You can make us stop, look and listen... yeah
Stop, look and listen

Suppose they gave a war and hardly anybody came
The government would spread the news that we're all insane
Suppose the times have changed so much we couldn't follow rules
They'd take the stake and brand us 'generation of fools'

Suppose they planned a war and everybody stayed home
They'd fall apart, and that would start frustration to the bone
They gave a war nobody came imagine all the fuss!
They'd have to send themselves instead of sending us yeah!

People of the generation
You can put an end, to separation
You're the living hope to save the nations
You are the answer, you are the future

You can make us stop!

[Scatting by Scatman John] Uh!

It's awful hard to follow rules, when rules are obsolete
No wonder there's so many robots walking in the streets
The 'sires of senility' have got to step down
The circus is the purpose and the place for old clowns

The situation's calling, and it's telling me and you
The time has come, what must be done, that's what we've got to do
You're the generation that can make the world see
Everybody join in and repeat after me, it's time to...

Stop, look and listen!
The revolution's over, everybody won!
Yeah stop, look and listen
The revolution's over, it's time to have some fun!

People of the generation
You can put an end, to separation
You're the living hope to save the nations
You are the answer, you are the future

You can make us stop!
