The funkiest suckers of the new gold nation
Polyvinyl acetate, New Power Soul
Guaranteed 2 stick 2 the roof of your Oldsmobile muthafucka
CHORUS:
Long live the New Power!
Have mercy
Generation after generation, the soul will never die
(The exodus has begun)
Long live the New Power!
Have mercy
We don't cry, we don't die, we just multiply
Polyvinyl acetate, New Power Soul (Mercy)
The exodus has begun
These are the names of the children of the sun
Pumpin' the love sign in the days of wild
Tearin' shit up with a vengeance and still they smile (Still they smile)
Though their lives were made bitter with hard labor and no pay
These are the children that will come 2 save the day
(These are the children)
The exodus has begun
Have mercy
CHORUS
La da da da, da da daaa (U ain't gonna hurt me)
Sho do do do do doo (Have mercy)
La da da da, da da daaa (U ain't gonna hurt me)
Have mercy
(Behold)
Behold the children of the New Power
Are more and mightier than U (Mighty, mighty)
U that have scorned and held back the inevitable
Must now come 2 grips with the truth
(All that is good in the eyes of heaven)
All that is good in the eyes of heaven
Will rebuke your powder monkey ways
(Have mercy, mercy, mercy)
And let that same heaven have mercy
When the wrath of the sun knocks upon your gate
Have mercy
The exodus has begun
(New... New Power!)
Uh, brothers and sisters

Generation after generation, the soul will never die
The exodus has begun
Long live the New Power! (Long live)
Have mercy (Live a little while)
We don't cry, we don't die, we just multiply
Spatch cocks in black face offer us pennies (Offer us pennies)
When it's millions and millions upon millions they reap
(When it's millions, when it's millions) (Pluck his eye again!)
How in the world can we call ourselves equal
When their wages outweigh
When their wages outweigh the time that they keep?
(Pluck his eye again!)
And if they stood up and behaved like the humans they're supposed 2
As opposed 2 the way they are not
Then this New Power Soul would not be so soulful
(Then this New Power Soul would not be soulful)
And the water they're in would not be so hot
(And the water would not be so hot)
The exodus has begun (The exodus has begun!)
Have mercy
Uh (The exodus has begun!)
The exodus has begun
Now sing
Long live the New Power!
(Long live a New Power where all that is good in heaven)
Brothers and sisters

The New Power Generation (NPG) was the backing band of American musician Prince from 1990 to 2013. Founded by Prince himself, the group officially debuted on the album *Diamonds and Pearls* in 1991. The name derives from a song on the album *Graffiti Bridge* (1990), but was already present in the phrase "Welcome to the new power generation" featured in the title track of *Lovesexy* (1988). The NPG was characterized by a contemporary funk and soul sound, with influences from jazz and R and B. Among the most notable members were Sheila E., Morris Day, and Wendy and Lisa. The band accompanied Prince on numerous world tours and collaborated on many successful albums, including *Love Symbol Album* (1992), *The Gold Experience* (1995) and *Chaos and Disorder* (1996). Some representative tracks include "Diamonds and Pearls", "Gett Off" and "Cream".

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
