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 uncontrolablly shake
no one's laughing at god when they see the one that 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 they say we've got some bad news sir
no one's laughing at god when there's a famine or 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 about to choke
god can be funny
when told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
when presented like a genie
who does magic like houdini
or grants wishes like jiminy cricket and santa claus
god can be so hilarious haha
haha

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 got
and they don't know what for

no one laughs at god on the day they realize
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 about to choke
god can be funny
when told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
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's laughing at god in a hopital
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
