I Could Laugh Lyrics

I Could Laugh lyrics

Mama don't understand

she wants to hold my hand

Night and day

She don't like my clothes

They're wearing thin

On her nerves

She don't like my hair

My glorious crown

Brings her down

She won't take me serious

Think I'll join the circus

Be a
clown



And they'll all laugh

They'll all laugh

They'll
all laugh

But it's not funny

No



I'm restless

Wanna bust out of my skin

Got a rocket

In my pocket

Got no
fuel

No charted course

Got no direction

No, they did not give
me those in school

Yes, I've been a fool for cool

But no kind of
hair, no shoes, no jackets

Gonna help me hack it, hack it

Hack it
to pieces, man

I've had it

And you can have it



Chorus



Well, I wonder what will

Get me off

So I
pick and choose and take

And in a couple years

You're right

I'm left

With a great big heartache

So deep and wide

That
no matter what

I stuff inside

It's empty

Just the way it
came

It's a crying shame

But all the same



Chorus



Should I recall

All the people I have hurt

Along the
way

And should I try

To justify

Every wrong I did not
right

But two wrongs don't make it right

And so it keeps me up at
night

And I lie awake

And while away the meanwhile

And
meanwhile......

Meanwhile I dwell

On the baby that I killed

Or the drink I should have not refilled

And every heart I broke in
2

And left to die

Bleeding on the roadside

Or I could sit

And let my eyes

fill with mist

For every girl that

I
should not have kissed

And all the broken family ties

The loved
