Paroles et traduction Bart Peeters - De kat zat op de krant

De kat zat op de krant

'K wou weten wat er aan de hand was
Met de wereld en het land
Maar m'n gsm was plat en m'n ipad was gejat
En de kat zat op de krant
Was er een sprinkhaancatastrofe?
Stond Amerika in brand?
Zocht nieuws per satelliet, maar de zapper deed het niet
En de kat zat op de krant
Ze zat ongegeneerd
Totaal fout geparkeerd
Ik kon niks lezen want
Ik kon niks lezen want
De kat zat op de krant (oh oh oh)
De kat zat op de (oh oh oh)
Ze zat op de krant (oh oh oh)
De kat zat op de krant
Deed er iemand met veel woorden
Z'n nietszeggende zeg?
Zette de wetenschap weer een politicus pootje lap?
Maar de kat zat in de weg
Op tiktok enkel rare dansjes
Op instagram niet gelet
Twitter was ontploft
M'n computerscherm bestoft
En de kat zat op de gazet
Ze zat ongegeneerd (ze zat ongegeneerd)
Totaal fout geparkeerd (totaal fout geparkeerd)
Ik kon niets lezen want
Ik kon niets lezen want
De kat zat op de krant (oh oh oh)
De kat zat op de (oh oh oh)
Ze zat op de krant (oh oh oh)
De kat zat op de krant
Ze leek te zeggen dat gedonder (ja dat gedonder)
Is totaal oninteressant (oninteressant)
Ik zag een staart maar niks daaronder
Want de kat zat op de krant
'K heb een klein beetje gelogen
Ik geef het toe maar niet zo graag
Ik wijt het aan de kat
Maar het is eigenlijk omdat
Ik geen zin heb in nieuws vandaag
Ik zeg ongegeneerd
En ongeinteresseerd
Ik kon niks lezen want
Ik kon niks lezen want
De kat zat op de krant
Ze zat ongegeneerd (ze zat ongegeneerd)
Totaal fout geparkeerd (totaal fout geparkeerd)
Ik kon niks lezen want
Ik kon niks lezen want
De kat zat op de krant
Ik kon niks lezen want
Ik kon niks lezen want
De kat zat op de krant (oh oh oh)
De kat zat op de (oh oh oh)
Ze zat op de krant (oh oh oh)
De kat zat op de (de kat zat op de krant)

The Cat Was Sitting on the Newspaper

I wanted to know what was going on
In the world and the country
But my phone was dead and my iPad was stolen
And the cat was sitting on the newspaper
Was there a locust catastrophe?
Was America on fire?
Searched for news on satellite, but the remote didn't work
And the cat was sitting on the newspaper
She was sitting shamelessly
Totally parked wrong
I couldn't read anything because
I couldn't read anything because
The cat was sitting on the newspaper (oh oh oh)
The cat was on the (oh oh oh)
She was sitting on the newspaper (oh oh oh)
The cat was sitting on the newspaper
Did someone use many words
To say nothing?
Did the science give a politician the runaround?
But the cat was in the way
On TikTok only weird dances
On Instagram I didn't pay attention
Twitter had exploded
My computer screen dusty
And the cat was on the newspaper
She was sitting shamelessly (she was sitting shamelessly)
Totally parked wrong (totally parked wrong)
I couldn't read anything because
I couldn't read anything because
The cat was sitting on the newspaper (oh oh oh)
The cat was on the (oh oh oh)
She was sitting on the newspaper (oh oh oh)
The cat was sitting on the newspaper
She seemed to say that noise (yes that noise)
Is totally uninteresting (uninteresting)
I saw a tail but nothing below it
Because the cat was sitting on the newspaper
I lied a little
I admit it but not so much
I blame it on the cat
But it's actually because
I don't feel like news today
I say shamelessly
And uninterested
I couldn't read anything because
I couldn't read anything because
The cat was sitting on the newspaper
She was sitting shamelessly (she was sitting shamelessly)
Totally parked wrong (totally parked wrong)
I couldn't read anything because
I couldn't read anything because
The cat was sitting on the newspaper
I couldn't read anything because
I couldn't read anything because
The cat was sitting on the newspaper (oh oh oh)
The cat was on the (oh oh oh)
She was sitting on the newspaper (oh oh oh)
The cat was sitting on the (the cat was sitting on the newspaper)
