There must be some kind of way out of here Said the joker to the thief There’s too much confusion I can’t get no relief Businessmen there – they drink my wine Plow men dig my earth None will level on the line Nobody of it is worth – Hey!
No reason to get excited The thief he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke but huh But you and I we’ve been through that And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now The hours getting late – Hey!
All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Bare-foot servants too, but huh Outside in the cold distance A wild cat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl – Hey!
Voor de liefhebbers ook geluid (Jimi Hendrix versie):
De inspiratie voor deze post kwam van hier en na het beluisteren van de playlist van een doordeweekse dag op MNM.
Toen ik het nummer de eerste keer hoorde vond ik het best aangenaam en zacht. De tweede keer hoorde ik een stukje van de lyrics en ben ik de radio wat luider gaan zetten.
Liedje begint na 0:42
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 start to uncontrollably shake No one’s laughing at God When they see the one 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 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 Or when the crazies say He hates us And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke God can be funny, When told he’ll 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 one’s laughing at God When they’ve lost all they’ve got And they don’t know what for
No one laughs at God on the day they realize That 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 Or when the crazies say He hates us And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke God can be funny, When told he’ll 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 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
