human of the year

Singer:regina spektor

hello? hello?

calling a karl projectorinski

to the front of the cathedral

you have won

dear sir

may i congratulate you first?

oh

what an honor

human

human of the year and you've won

why are you so scared

you stand there shaking in your pew

the icons are whispering to you

they're just old men

like on the benches in the park

except their balding spots are glistening with gold

human

human of the year and you've won

you have won

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

outside the cars are beeping out a song just in your honor

and though they do not know it

all mankind are now your brothers

and thus the cathedral had spoken

wishing well to all us sinners

and with a sigh grew silent

'til next year's big human winner

outside the cars are beeping out a song just in your honor

and though they do not know it

all mankind are now your brothers

all mankind are now your brothers

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hello? hello?

calling a karl projectorinski

to the front of the cathedral

you have won
