Lyrics
I'm Not Laughing About It ©1996 updated ©2006
See that look of hate in your eyes
think there will be a nuclear war; we'll all die
you gave up on life and don't even try.
one thing I wish money could buy...
an answer to the question why.
you laugh at someone else...laugh at yourself
chorus:
Ah ah ha ah ha ha ha ha...ha ha
I'm laughing about it, I'm crying about it...
I'm dying...asking myself
why aye aye aye
why When I'm in love with life
Why is all this hate in this world
combat boots and leather and spikes and chains.
crazy nights going insane.
pierced ears, pierced nose and punk rock clothes
spiked hair mohawk and cool hip talk
hey where'd you get those clothes, at a thrift shop?
yeah and I like em!
this is the life that I chose.
chorus repeats:
