  • Hello? hello?
    Calling a Karl Projektorinski
    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! you won!
    Human! human of the year! you won!

    Why are you so scared?
    You stand there shaking by 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! you won!
    Human! human of the year! you 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 psalm drew silent
    Till next year's big human winner

    Outside the cars are beeping
    Out a song just in your honor
    And thought 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 Projektorinski
    To the front of the cathedral
    You have won Writer/s: REGINA SPEKTOR
