《Laughing Matters》歌词

[00:00:00] Live at Five and CNN

[00:00:04] Keep us all abreast

[00:00:06] Of breaking stories that can tend

[00:00:09] To make us anxious and depressed

[00:00:12] Problems with no answers

[00:00:15] Hang on like some chronic cough

[00:00:18] And every day some brand new issue

[00:00:22] Rears it's head to piss you off

[00:00:30] Bad guys win

[00:00:33] Optimism's wearing thin

[00:00:38] Things are spinning out of control

[00:00:44] Cynicism's all the fad

[00:00:49] World events could make us mad

[00:00:51] As hatters

[00:00:56] Almost every day

[00:01:00] Some underpinning slips away

[00:01:06] These aren't laughing matters

[00:01:13] Time bombs tick

[00:01:17] People keep on getting sick

[00:01:21] And a nickel's not worth a cent

[00:01:28] Widckedness and greed abound

[00:01:32] Just as peace is gaining ground

[00:01:35] It shatters

[00:01:40] Hate is here to stay

[00:01:43] And justince goes to those who pay

[00:01:49] Friend these aren't laughing matters

[00:01:55] The truth is scarrier by far

[00:02:04] Than anything that Stephen King could write

[00:02:11] The stories in the paper are

[00:02:20] The daily small decline and fall

[00:02:24] Spelled out in black and white

[00:02:30] Oh what to do what to do

[00:02:37] How to take a brighter view

[00:02:41] When your noodle's totally fried

[00:02:48] Human spriits need to be

[00:02:52] Leavened by a little levity

[00:02:56] So take those blues

[00:02:58] And bounce them off the wall

[00:03:03] Keep your humor please

[00:03:08] 'Cause don't you know it times like these that

[00:03:16] Laughing matters most of all
