Bette Midler - Laughing Matters Lyrics
Live at five and cnnKeep us all abreastOf breaking stories that can tendTo make us anxious and depressed.Problems with no answersHang on like some chronic cough.And every day some brand new issueRears its head to piss you off.Bad guys win.Optimisms wearing thin.Things are spinning out of control.Cynicisms all the fad.World events could make us madAs hatters.Almost every daySome underpinning slips away.These arent laughing matters.Time bombs tick.People keep on getting sick.And a nickels not worth a cent.Widckedness and greed abound.Just as peace is gaining groundIt shatters.Hate is here to stay,And justince goes to those who pay.Friend, these arent laughing matters.The truth is scarrier by farThan anything that stephen king could write.The stories in the paper areThe daily small decline and fallSpelled out in black and white.Oh, what to do, what to do?How to take a brighter viewWhen your noodles totally fried.Human spriits need to beLeavened by a little levity.So take those bluesAnd bounce them off the wall.Keep your humor please,cause dont you know it times like these thatLaughing matters most of all.
