"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
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 teens and anarchy was still a dream and the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail
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 arounds and footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face
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"

I LOVE this song. The only thing I think may be wrong is that we are still in a world that cares. That's my hope anyway.

I think you're right. I don't know if that hope could exist if that were not true.
Oh, and I think something else may be wrong also.....accountants definitely don't have control, haha
They have some control, let's be honest. Money runs this world. Or at least, the world thinks money runs it.
I understand where you're coming from. Money does "run the world", but that stems from the "dog eat dog," "survival of the fittest" image that corporate America has created. Accountants are needed as an independent third party to provide assurance that individuals aren't doing whatever they please, or cheating the public due to conflicts of interest, or something else. Accountants exist to hold people accountable (that's where it came from) for their actions and claims. But sure, we have some control, but it's more similar to the control that a police officer has. An accountant's role is to protect. Because the world decided to live according to the flesh gave rise to the accounting profession.
