Flower Child
Sounds Like Harmony Lyrics

Well when your to cool for school
Being too cool for school is challenging, you need to follow the rules, or you risk being cast out altogether.

You got to play by the rules
It's vital to comply with the expectations of society if you want your voice to be heard.

Tell them you're a hipster but they don't care for rock and roll
By taking on the label of a hipster, you are attempting to fit in with a group that does not embrace traditional rock and roll music.

So try as you need but there ain't easy to please
You can attempt to meet their standards, but finding success is easier said than done.

They'll drive you wild
The process of seeking approval can be emotional and trying, causing great frustration and anxiety.

Ohhh flower child of the new generation
Identifying as a flower child is now symbolic of the new generation, representing a break away from traditional values and practices.

I've been walking around
The singer has been taking a stroll and reflecting on recent events.

Been wondering what in the hell is wrong with the world
Questioning and pondering why society seems to be failing or falling apart.

And where did we go wrong
What has caused such a deterioration of the world to the point that it is experiencing such serious issues?

I don't need my education to see
The artist is alluding to the notion that education does not always provide the answers.

I've been tumbling around
The singer has been lost in thought, falling through a range of complex thoughts and ideas.

Dazed and confused
Feeling lost and unsure of how to proceed or how to make sense of the world.

Smoking the green to take away my blues
The singer is using marijuana as a means of self-medication to alleviate feelings of sadness or depression.

If you use your imagination you'll see
The singer is hinting at the idea that perspective and imagination are key to uncovering truths.

Ohhh flower child of the new generation
Once again, identifying as a flower child is symbolic of embracing a break away from traditional societal ideals and embracing something new.

Flower child of the new generation
A repetition of the above sentiment and chorus, doubling down on the importance of break away from societal expectations and creating something new.

Ohhh flower child of the new generation
Repetition of the chorus, emphasizing a new way of thinking and being that breaks away from the traditional expectations of society.

Flower child of the new generation
Final repetition and chorus of the idea of embracing new ideals and being part of a new wave of thought and action.
