Regina Spektor - Laughing With lyrics

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, a fire or a 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
