《People Laugh(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:03] People Laugh - Venice

[00:00:14] There's a man who's just a fraction of the man he used to be

[00:00:20] Knows he won't last very long

[00:00:26] 'Cause the shadow in his body has taken all that he can see

[00:00:32] And it's so hard to be strong

[00:00:38] So hard to be strong

[00:00:44] Another man makes people laugh in a room filled with smoke

[00:00:50] He's got them all in his hands

[00:00:55] Then he talks about the victims like it's nothing more than a joke

[00:01:03] And I don't understand

[00:01:06] People laugh while people cry

[00:01:12] Do we ever stop to wonder why

[00:01:19] Talkin bout somebody's life

[00:01:24] People laugh while people cry

[00:01:34] There's a man who has to share his death with those who gave him life

[00:01:41] Now it's a life cut in half

[00:01:46] His bed is like a prison though he's done nobody wrong

[00:01:54] Tell me ain't that a laugh

[00:01:58] Is it really so easy to kick a man that's down

[00:02:04] 'Cause he don't live his life like you do

[00:02:10] Do you really think the hand of God would make such a sound

[00:02:17] Tell me do you think that's true

[00:02:21] People laugh while people cry

[00:02:27] Do we ever stop to wonder why

[00:02:35] Talkin bout somebody's life

[00:02:39] People laugh

[00:02:41] I don't believe that everybody is to blame

[00:02:47] But if we do nothing then we're one and the same

[00:02:56] One and the same

[00:03:00] People laugh while people cry

[00:03:06] Do we ever stop to wonder why

[00:03:14] Talkin bout somebody's life

[00:03:19] People laugh while people cry

[00:03:24] People laugh as if the dead and gone had never really died

[00:03:31] Is it really so impossible to find some compassion inside

[00:03:37] You know we're talking bout somebody's life

[00:03:42] People laugh while people die
