Sandi Thom - I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker
with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution
was in the air
I was born too late and
to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker
with flowers in my hair
When the head of state
didn't play guitar
Not everybody drove a car
When music really mattered
and when radio was king
When accountants
didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary
and we didn't know everything
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker
with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution
was in the air
I was born too late and
to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker
with flowers in my hair
When popstars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when God Saved the Queen
she turned a whiter shade of pale
When my mom and
dad were in their teens
and anarchy was still a dream
and the only way to stay in touch
was a letter in the mail
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker
with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution
was in the air
I was born too late and
to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker
with flowers in my hair
When record shops were on top
and vinyl was all that they stocked
and the super info highway was
still drifting out in space
kids were wearing hand me downs
and playing games
meant kick arounds
and footballers still had long hair
and dirt across their face
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker
with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution
was in the air
I was born too late and
to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker
with flowers in my hair
I was born too late to a world
that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker
with flowers in my hair
