I wish I was a punk rocker - Sandi Thom

[Chorus]
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
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything

[Chorus]

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
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

[Chorus]

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 around
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

[Chorus]

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

77 was basically a reaction upon that 67-69 was betrayed.

No future et cetera but you US-ppl never really got that...

Free love and peace. Punk and the hippie culture had a message that was larger then themselves, they were speaking out against something they felt was unjust and wrong. Both generations had a voice and a message, and it's a damn shame ours hasn't gotten one yet.

Christ, people. No shit punk rockers don't wear flowers in their hair. Both hippies and punks were very powerful influences on the music scene in the past. They were "revolutionary", you could say. Both 77 and 69 were powerful years for the genres. 77 was the beginning of the punk rock explosion, and 69 was when Woodstock was held. Both years were revolutionary. She longs for revolution, which both genres had, not to be some conflicting chick who thinks she can be a punk while preaching

why would a punk rocker wear flowers? do you mean hippies? and what's stopping you being a punk rocker? there's plenty of them kicking about. you're talking a load of shit woman.
