Laughing With - Regina Spektor

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 the 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 say we got some bad news Sir

No one's laughing at God

When there's 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 they're 'bout 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've 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 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 they're 'bout 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 laughing at God in 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
