I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (Reborn) - Sandi Thom

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

So I still wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When the head of the states tweets every hour

Corrupt and high and drunk on power

Justice doesn’t matter

And prejudice is king

When border walls of solid gold

Won’t keep our souls out in the cold

It really shouldn’t matter to which God we sing

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 music played under a kiss

Prince and Bowie will be missed

George Michael got us on our feet

Gay or straight or bi

But when were over looking back

Tomorrows under fresh attack

By those who sing the same old song

And fly the flag so high

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 every nations on its own

When brexits born to stand alone

And the fires of revolution

Will fade into the dark

But if every nation becomes one

And all the hatred comes undone

Imagine like John Lennon

That the world beats with one heart

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

So I wish still I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
