I Wish I Was Punk Rocker
Key: DEnglish
Chorus
DOh I wish I Em7was a punk rocker Gwith flowers Din my hair
In 77 and D69 revoGlution was in the A(sus4)air
I was Dborn too Em7late to a Bmworld that doesn't Gcare
Oh I Dwish I was a Em7punk rocker with Gflowers in my Dhair
Verse
DWhen the head of state didn't play guitar,
Not Em7everybody drove a car,
When Amusic really mattered and Em7radio was Dking,
DWhen accountants didn't have control
And the Em7media couldn't buy your soul
And comAputers were still scary and we Em7didn't know everyDthing
Chorus
Verse
When popstars 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
Verse
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 still had long hair and dirt across their face
Chorus
Chorus
I was Dborn too Em7late to a Bmworld that doesn't Gcare
Oh I Dwish I was a Em7punk rocker with Gflowers in my Dhair
