regina spektor - Laughing With (Live)

Lyrics:

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No ones laughing at God
When theyre starving or freezing or so very poor

No one laughs at God
When the doctor calls after some routine tests
No ones laughing at God
When its gotten real late
And their kids not back from the party yet

No one laughs at God
When their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No ones laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that theyre mistaken

No one laughs at God
When the cops knock on their door
And they say we got some bad news, sir
No ones laughing at God
When theres a famine or fire or 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 theyre bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told hell 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 ones laughing at God
When theyve lost all theyve got
And they dont know what for

No one laughs at God on the day they realize
That the last sight theyll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No ones laughing at God when theyre 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 theyre bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told hell 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 ones laughing at God in a war
No ones laughing at God when theyre starving or freezing or so very
poor

No ones laughing at God
No ones laughing at God
No ones laughing at God
Were all laughing with God

i usually dont care too much for any modern music but i heard this on the radio today after leaving a hospital and it is about as intense as it gets.

[feoleo88]

How can I say it,..

..the world that used to imbue my little mind with strange little senses and sensations and unname-able emotions was so much more beautiful..

..such lovely world then, ..

.. there was no cognitive sense of anything except the senses itself in its most purest form, the most tangible form.. no god in my mind but it was so lovely then..

And then, the world became uglier, human faces became less real..

[ahelpermonkey]

Thank god joeblack is irrelevant!

[joeblack173]

Thank god there are songs like this, thank god there are unforgiveable crimes, thank god there are people who "kill" other people who needed to be killed.

[FreeLoveFreeSpirit]

It never ceases to amaze me how beautifully Regina's music is when live. You can't even really tell that it is live...

[acke1213]

This song is good

[ngh1814]

hehe Great song :)

[SilverIlly]

I didn't think I could love this song any more.

But holy crap.

Live version FTW.

As a child many years ago, living in the beauty of the world was simply living life itself - no extra connotations, no meanings beyond the experience itself ..

..

I am not sure why there is a need to explain life itself beyond merely living it. Many years ago I introduced chaos and fear into my life when my childish mind involuntarily began to grapple with new concepts of "god", "purpose of living", "how to behave according to certain rules and expectations" ..

@ravengypsywings

Lest you misunderstand, a non-belief in god might have implied a failure to acertain the existence of god BUT in no way does a non-belief in god constitue a denial of god, or any disrespect in itself ..

..

Is the child to be blamed for uncertainty , when faced with 100 women screaming and demanding to be acknowledged as the biological mother. In the end, is the biological bond any more cherished than a lifetime of shared memories with a foster caretaker ?

@ravengypsywings

A newborn does not fear dying, god does not exist in its consciousness even if the baby is dying.

There is no fear of losing when one has nothing to begin with.

..

Wishing thinking at the point of losing something precious does not prove the existence of god. Wishful thinking remains a human emotion. One day out of fear of dying I might call out for god to save me, the desperate act does not make a difference to the existence or non-existence of god unfortunately..
