Pop Crimes

Evil? no, you make me laugh,
we were young, enjoying life
each night we would drink wine,
eat bread and Swiss cheese.

Oh please, there was no plot or plan,
just the oom-pah and a touch of polka.
Café culture at its best, cheap cigars,
strong coffee and back room bands.

No I don’t hate it; popular culture has its place,
nor do I feel that I’m a disgrace,
a simple tune to bring in the custom,
it was never meant to sell a million.

My Name, Werner Thomas from Davos,
I’m not the one to whom you should speak,
I believe the Tweets took it to the streets.
you say its a crime but I've done nothing wrong,
I only gave Europe the Birdie song.
