Regina Spektor - Laughing with
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one's laughing at
God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God
when the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one's laughing at God
when it's gotten real late
and their kid's not back from that party yet
No one laughs at God
when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake
No one's laughing at God
when they see the one they love
hand in hand with
someone else and they hope that they're mistaken
No one laughs at God when the cops
knock on their door and they say
"We've got some bad new, sir,"
No one's laughing at God
when there's a famine, fire or flood
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party while 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 that they're about to choke
God can be funny
When told he'll 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 one's laughing at God
when they've lost all they got and they don't know what for
No one laughs at God on the day they realize
that the last sight they'll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one's laughing at God
when they're saying their goodbyes
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party while 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 that they're about to choke
God can be funny
When told he'll 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's laughing at God in a hospital
No one's laughing at God in a war
No one's laughing at God
when they're starving or freezing or so very poor
No one's laughing at God
No one's laughing at God
No one's laughing at God
We're all laughing with God
