If I Can't Laugh

If I Can’t Laugh

There’s nothin’ really to shout about,
nothin’ that made my day.
Nothin’ I can’t do without, yeah
nothin’ that came my way.
Heartbreak keeps followin’ me
and I keep wonderin’ why...
These times I know if I can’t laugh –
I will cry.

(refrain)
If I can’t laugh, then I’ll cry.
If I don’t laugh, I will surely die.
Just a step from misery –
Crack a joke, poke some fun at me...

There’s somethin’ behind my smilin’ face,
There’s somethin’ inside my laugh.
Somethin’ sad I can’t erase,
somethin’ that hides my wrath.
Can’t be happy all the time
but I can always try –
These times I know if I don’t laugh –
I will surely cry.

(refrain)

(mid 8)
The world keeps turnin’ –
it’s hard to understand.
Hunger keeps on churnin’ –
innocence needs a hand.
Way too many angels
gunned to the ground.
What’s it gonna take to
turn it all around?

(refrain)

If I can’t laugh.
If I can’t laugh.
If I can’t laugh.
