Laughing With
Regina Spektor 14-07-2009, Paradiso
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No onexe2x80x99s laughing at God when theyxe2x80x99re starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests
No onexe2x80x99s laughing at God when itxe2x80x99s gotten real late
And their kidxe2x80x99s not back from that party yet
No one laughs at God when their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No onexe2x80x99s laughing at God when they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that theyxe2x80x99re mistaken
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door
And they say we got some bad news, sir
No onexe2x80x99s laughing at God when therexe2x80x99s a famine or fire or flood
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or…
Or when the crazies say "He hates us"
And they get so red in the head you think theyxe2x80x99re xe2x80x98bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told hexe2x80x99ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha ha
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No onexe2x80x99s laughing at God when theyxe2x80x99ve lost all theyxe2x80x99ve got
And they donxe2x80x99t know what for
No one laughs at God on the day they realize
That the last sight theyxe2x80x99ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No onexe2x80x99s laughing at God when theyxe2x80x99re saying their goodbyes
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or…
Or when the crazies say "He hates us"
And they get so red in the head you think theyxe2x80x99re xe2x80x98bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told hexe2x80x99ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughing at God in hospital
No onexe2x80x99s laughing at God in a war
No onexe2x80x99s laughing at God when theyxe2x80x99re starving or freezing or so very poor
No onexe2x80x99s laughing at God
No onexe2x80x99s laughing at God
No onexe2x80x99s laughing at God
Wexe2x80x99re all laughing with God
Haha.
