i've been waking around
wondering what in the hell
is up with the world
and where did we go wrong. i don't need my education to see
that when you're too cool for school
you've gotta play by the rules. yeah you can call yourself a hipster
but they don't care for rock n roll. so try as you need
but they ain't easy to please. they'll drive you wild. oh flower child of the new generation
flower child of the new generation
i've been stumbling around
dazed and confused
smoking the green to take away my blues. if you use imagination you'll see
that when you're too cool for school
you've gotta play by the rules. yeah you can call yourself a hipster
but they don't care for rock n roll. so try as you need
but they ain't easy to please. they'll drive you wild. flower child of the new generation
flower child of the new generation
don't need my education
to use imagination
don't need my education
to use imagination
don't need my education
to use imagination
don't need my education
