'i wish i were a punk rocker' - by sandi thom

i dont get it @ all.....

I have to look this up now - I'm dying to know what the lyrics are.

eta - found them

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 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 popstars 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 teen
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 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

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

so its about ...what? hippies???

I AM SO BAD....

cause its really catchy tune - but i dont know what the hell she is signing about....

It sounds to me like she's lamenting the fact that she's not living in the late 60s or late 70s when music had a message and a meaning and while hippies and punk rockers seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum, she wouldn't mind being either one because they had something to stand for and believe in.

I could be wrong though
