I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker

[chorus:]Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hairIn '77 and '69 revolution was in the airI was born too late into a world that doesn't careOh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hairWhen the head of state didn't play guitarNot everybody drove a carWhen music really mattered and when radio was kingWhen accountants didn't have controlAnd the media couldn't buy your soulAnd computers were still scary and we didn't know everything[chorus]When pop stars still remained a mythAnd ignorance could still be blissAnd when God saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of paleMy mom and dad were in their teensAnd anarchy was still a dreamAnd the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail[chorus]When record shops were still on topAnd vinyl was all that they stockedAnd the super info highway was still drifting out in spaceKids were wearing hand me downsAnd playing games meant kick aroundsAnd footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face[chorus]I was born too late into a world that doesn't careOh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
