[Bruce Cockburn - Laughter lyrics]

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

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Whoa ha ha ha ha

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

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Whoa ha ha ha ha

A laugh for the sun red balling
Through the thermal inversion haze
A laugh for the nuclear good-time boys
Numbering all our days

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Whoa ha ha ha ha

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

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Whoa ha ha ha ha

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

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Whoa ha ha ha ha

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

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Whoa ha ha ha ha
