[Chorus]
\nOh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair<\/strong>
\nIn 77 and 69 revolution was in the air<\/strong>
\nI was born too late into a world that doesn’t care<\/strong>
\nOh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the head of state didn’t play guitar,
\nNot everybody drove a car,
\nWhen music really mattered and when radio was king,
\nWhen accountants didn’t have control
\nAnd the media couldn’t buy your soul
\nAnd computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything
\n[Chorus]<\/strong><\/p>\n

When pop-stars still remained a myth
\nAnd ignorance could still be bliss
\nAnd when God Saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
\nWhen my mom and dad were in their teens
\nAnd anarchy was still a dream
\nAnd the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail
\n[Chorus]<\/strong><\/p>\n

When record shops were still on top
\nAnd vinyl was all that they stocked
\nAnd the super info highway was still drifting out in space
\nKids were wearing hand me downs,
\nAnd playing games meant kick around
\nAnd footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face
\n[Chorus]<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care
\nOh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair<\/p>\n
