Kzegge: “Ei! Wuk gebeurtre?”

Ik herinner me het eerste nummer dat me is bijgebleven als kind maar al te goed: ‘What’s Up?‘ van ‘4 Non Blondes‘.
Linda Perry’s stem raakt me nog altijd tot op de dag van vandaag. Dit is misschien wel het meest universele refrein ooit.
For your convenience: de lyrics op het eind want ze verdienen gepost te worden. Respect!

Twenty – five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What’s going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what’s going on?
Ooh, ooh ooh
And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What’s going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what’s going on?
Ooh, ooh ooh
Twenty – five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination…
