Bettye LaVette - Hard To Be A Human Lyrics

A brain that hardly functions
It makes me act so strange
It's just another life form
And it's never gonna change
I was walkin in the garden
Goin by the plan
Dreamin about my baby
Apple in my hand

Said it's hard, hard to be a human
Said it's hard, hard to be a human
Said it's hard, hard to be a human
Said it's hard, hard to be a human

First he made the mountains
Then he filled up the sea
He lost his concentration
Workin on you and me
I was walkin in the garden
Goin by the plan
Dreamin about my baby
Apple in my hand

Said it's hard, hard to be a human
Said it's hard, hard to be a human
Said it's hard, hard to be a human
Said it's hard, hard to be a human

You spend your whole existence
Running from the storm
You gotta stop and wonder

Maybe why you were born
You find yourself a lifeboat
And you try to ride it out
But don't expect nobody
To tell you what it's all about

Said it's hard, hard to be a human - vamp out
