I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (with Flowers In My Hair) Lyrics - Smile It Confuses People - Sandi Thom

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 pop stars still remained a myth 

And ignorance could still be bliss 

And when God Save 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 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 who 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
