Bruce Cockburn
Laughter
[Verse 1]
A laugh for the way my life has gone
A laugh for the love of a friend
A laugh for the fools in the eyes of the world
The love that will never end

[Chorus]
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Whoa
Ha ha ha ha

[Verse 2]
Let's hear a laugh for the man of the world
Who thinks he can make things work
Tried to build the New Jerusalem
And ended up with New York

[Chorus]
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Whoa
Ha ha ha ha

[Verse 3]
A laugh for the sun red-balling
Through the thermal inversion haze
A laugh for the nuclear good-time boys
Numbering all our days
[Chorus]
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Whoa
Ha ha ha ha

[Verse 4]
A laugh for the newsprint nightmare
A world that never was
Where the questions are all "Why?"
And the answers are all "Because"

[Chorus]
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Whoa
Ha ha ha ha

[Verse 5]
A laugh for the dogs barking at our heels
They don't know where we've been
A laugh for the dirty window pane
Hiding the love within

[Chorus]
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Whoa
Ha ha ha ha
[Verse 6]
Tapping our feet to an ancient tune
A laugh for the time gone by
A laugh for me and Kitty in the delivery room
Waiting for the child's first cry

[Chorus]
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Whoa
Ha ha ha ha
