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 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 they’re mistaken

No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door

And they say we got some bad news, sir

No one’s laughing at God when there’s a famine, fire or flood

But God can be funny

At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke

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 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 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

No one’s laughing at God

We’re all laughing with God
