Å være menneske
To be human
by Brødet & Eselet
Ser ut som en pris Charles
Pass deg nå
Det er ikke så lett å være menneske, sjø’
Det er ikke gratis å være menneske
Slo du deg eller
(Grynt)
Jeg sier jo det at det ikke er så lett å være menneske
(Grynt)
Hva?
Skal jeg hjelpe deg?
Det var ikke noe bra, det
Det var varmt
Ja, det er klamt
Det er trangt
Det er trangt inni menneske
Trær
Ja, det har vi nok av hvertfall
Trær …
Looking like a Prince Charles
Careful now
It’s not easy being human, see
It’s not for nothing being human
Did you hit yourself or what
(Grunt)
I’m telling you it’s not easy being human
(Grunt)
What?
You need help?
Wasn’t good, that
It was hot
Yes, it’s clammy
It’s cramped
It’s cramped inside the human
Trees
Yes, at least we have enough of those
Trees …
