People of the Generation Lyrics by Scatman John

Everybody Jam!

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)
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!
(Scatting by Scatman John)
This is the generation
(Scatting by Scatman John)
You can be the ones to save the nations
(Scatting by Scatman John)
You can make us stop, look, and listen!
(Stop! People... people... we can make it stop)
Yeah, stop, look and listen
(Scatting by Scatman John)
You can make us stop!
