I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (with Flowers in My Hair)

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 into 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

When 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 into a world that doesn't care

Oh, I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When pop stars still remained a myth and ignorance could still be bliss

And when God saved the Queen, she turned a whiter shade of pale

My mum and dad were still 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 into 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 into a world that doesn't care

Oh, I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

I was born too late into a world that doesn't care

Oh, I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
