Hard to Be a Human in the Universe lyrics

Get up in the mornin', go to sleep at night

Some things I do without thinkin'

But try as I may to get it all that right

I've got this feelin' that's sinkin'

And nobody knows any better than those

Who search the world in vain

That it's suddenly clear how you ended up here

In roads up on the plains

It always happens

It always gets worse

'Cause it's hard to a human in the universe

In the universe, in the universe

Took a vacation and changed my name

Some things I do to get even

Though my back was breakin', my excuse was lame

But who could blame me for leavin'

A man on my block's callin' out to his flock

He says we're doomed to crack

I cover my ears and my ship reappears

And there's no turnin' back

But while I'm sailin' I'm hearin' his curse

It's hard to be a human in the universe

In the universe, in the universe

But it's my sworn testimony

I will be there always for you

I'll give up all the glory

Take your hand and lead you through it first

'Cause it's hard to be a human in the universe

Black and white people in a black and white world

I'm born to that generation

I've learned my lessons, I'm a move ahead girl

And that's the true explanation

'Cause anyone sees that with a couple of keys

The pieces seem to fit

I used to be stuck but now I'm pushin' my luck

And haven't time to quit

I've been busy I've got to rehearse

'Cause it's hard to a human in the universe

In the universe, in the universe

Hard to a human in the universe

In the universe, in the universe, in the universe

Hard to a human in the universe
