0:00jens lekman - Not Because It's Easy, But Because It's Hard
0:17Knock Knock
0:19Are you there
0:20Sorry to wake you, my fellow bear
0:23I'll slip this song under a rock somewhere
0:27So you can hear it when it's summer
0:34It hurts to hear you been exhausted
0:37I've seen too many people around me haunted
0:40By the cruelest to do lists
0:44Longer than the end credits of movies
0:52It shocked me to hear about Avicii
0:55Did you see that documentary?
0:58I read Avicii means hell in Buddhism
1:01And hell is what his dream had become
1:09That sense that he tried to cancel those shows
1:12Made me think back on some years ago
1:16So scared of letting anyone down
1:19I worked myself slowly into the ground
1:28Felt the cortisol pumping through my sleep
1:32When an ad flashed by in my Facebook feed
1:35A cheap DNA cloning kit
1:38Didn't know technology had made it there yet
1:48Connected it to a USB hub
1:51Dabbed saliva on a cotton bud
1:54Gave my passwords to all my email accounts
1:58And slowly a body rose from the ground
2:06With more clones of me we would have more time
2:09One could write the tune and the other the rhymes
2:12A third could focus on the business
2:15And a forth would send greeting cards for Christmas
2:23But soon our focus fell apart
2:26I said, guys if all of us do our part
2:30We could make it to the moon with our art
2:33Not because it's easy
2:36But because it's hard
2:43But because it's hard
2:50I heard the clones bragging
2:52About all the sleeps they'd been missing
2:56They posted vids of them sipping
2:59On a smoothie while their eyes were twitching
3:07Coffee for lunch, email for dinner
3:10In those press photos we've never looked thinner
3:14Exhaustion only happens to a winner
3:17Wear it like a badge of honour
3:25It was not until clone NO.1
3:28Was hospitalized with palpitations
3:32That they asked themselves what we'd done
3:35And were horrified by what they had become
3:45And the slaves turned on their master
3:49Filmed me while they kicked my ass there
3:52And posted it with the caption
3:55“Smash the capitalist system”
4:05So I hope you slept will in your bears den
4:09I hope you back on your feet again
4:12But if you should need the time to
4:16Take the next month off and I'll cover for you
