a reference to John Fogerty and Creedence Clearwater Revival

Stolen songs
A reference to John Fogerty

When I was a schoolboy the air was full of songs
Sometimes I liked the Beatles, seldom I liked the Stones
'til some guys from California sang about a Mississippi river boat
And the little boy started dreaming of riding down a country road

And I can still remember the band split up in 72
It hit me to the quick like a bolt out of the blue
I was searching on the radio for some new Creedence songs
All the searching was in vain, the voice of Fogerty was gone

And I heard it through the grapevine you were not a fortunate one
Some down-and-dirty managers they had stolen all your songs
Stolen songs, stolen songs, stolen songs

And I can still remember I know exactly where and when
It was a record store in Canada where I heard his voice again
He was singing a protest song against the Iraq war
It was a Deja Vu, everything felt like before

And I heard it through the grapevine you're again a fortunate one
But it nearly brought you to the ground when they had stolen all your songs
Stolen songs, stolen songs, stolen songs
