New Generation
New Politics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met a stranger he had fire in his eyes
Then I met a pretty angel but she was like too dead inside
Then I met a bunch of children with no food to eat and no place to hide
So I tried to get away now but there's nothing
in the world that can keep me in the skies
So if you ever happen to bump into to god
Please ask him if he made us all up for fun
Come on
Don't keep me waiting you've got nothing to lose
The world is fading you've got nothing to prove
Finally it all comes crashing down to the earth
Finally we get what we deserve
I met a preacher he had heart but he was blind
Then I met another homeless who sold his soul for less than a dime
So I opened up the papers but there were rats and painted lies
So I looked up to the sky and smiled and realized how small we are
So if you ever happen to bump into to god
Please ask him if he made us all up for fun
Come on
Don't keep me waiting you've got nothing to lose
The world is fading you've got nothing to prove
Finally it all comes crashing down to the earth
Finally we get what we deserve
Pardon my french
This is so ridiculous
I'm a product of God
Still there's poison in my blood
I find it cynical

I think you're critical
We better breakout
Before we blackout
Raise your voice
Don't let them break you down
All depends on what you do
It's a state of mind
Free the youth
Don't let them break you down
All depends on what you do
It's a state of mind
This boxing ring ain't big enough
For the two of us
So hold your ground
(Don't look down)
One wrong move and you'll
Taste the ground
Taste the ground
Oh oh
We Are the new generation
Oh oh
We have to rebuild the nation




Finally finally
We get what we deserve

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to New Politics's song "New Generation" paint a picture of various encounters the singer has had with different people in society. The beginning of the song introduces a stranger and a pretty angel, but neither of them quite meet the singer's expectations. He then encounters a group of hungry children with nowhere to go, which causes him to feel some guilt for trying to escape his problems rather than face them head-on. The lyrics then take a dark turn as the singer meets a preacher who is blind to the world and a homeless person who has sold their soul, according to the singer. The newspapers are filled with lies and rats, leaving him feeling disillusioned.


The repeated refrain is a plea to God, asking if he created humanity "for fun". The singer seems to be grappling with the idea of why we are here and what our purpose is. The chorus, then, offers a glimmer of hope that we can still take control and make our own choices, despite the overwhelming circumstances that we face. We must raise our voices and not let the world break us down, but ultimately, we get what we deserve.
