Hoyt Axton
Beelzebub’s Laughter
[Verse 1]
Night has come to the Vietnam jungle
Rain falls into the wide-open eyes
Of Captain Flynn and the Corporal Miranda
Sprawled in the mud there where they have died

[Verse 2]
And night has come to the children of China
They follow the lies of a false Unicorn
And his madness is burning the minds of
The children whose children shall never be born

[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel that it just can't be real
This world's in a spiral and spin
Tumblin' down after Beelzebub's Laughter
Won't somеone admit it's a sin?

[Verse 3]
Playgrounds, popcorn, and pink cotton candy
Disneyland daytimes dancе in the eyes
Of freckle-faced, tee-shirted, milk-drinkin' babies
Who never have ever seen fire in the sky

[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel that it just can't be real
This world's in a spiral and spin
Tumblin' down after Beelzebub's Laughter
Won't someone admit it's a sin?
[Verse 4]
Playgrounds, popcorn, and pink cotton candy
Disneyland daytimes dance in the eyes
Of freckle-faced, tee-shirted, milk-drinkin' babies
Who never have ever seen fire in the sky
And I hope they never will
