Sandi Thom - I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker lyrics

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 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 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
Mom and my 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 to
A world that doesn't care
Oh, I wish I was a punk
Rocker with flowers in my hair

When record shops were still 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 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
