laughter - bruce cockburn

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]

Whoa

[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
