LAUGH ON

Onward and upward my Christian soldiers
There’s a war now to win, so it’s time to begin by choosing sides
All aboard, but what we’re for
This half adored, this half deplored. Which half will win?

Cut this baby into half, razor thin on my behalf
Exterminate all the riffraff, those still left could use a laugh, laugh on, laugh on

Praise the Christian fighting cock
He walks the walk, he talks the talk, so cavalier
When haters win, there’s no hate speech
When traitors grin, survivors bleach their hair and skin

Onward Christian layabout
Shirker, slacker, loafer, laugher, honor bound
Honor bound to moan and scream
Honor bound to groan and dream of whiter days

Cut this baby into half, razor thin on my behalf
Exterminate all the riffraff, those still left could use a laugh, laugh on, laugh on

The day after election day
Life goes on and some of us are catching on
The once covert is now overt
What makes it work, there’s so much hurt. Who wants to know?

If men on money had their slaves
If slavery’s end brought other waves of servitude
Then denial as much as anything
To hold in winter some of spring, is who we are

Cut this baby into half, razor thin on my behalf
Exterminate all the riffraff, those still left could use a laugh
Laugh on, laugh on, laugh on, laugh on

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.

LAUGH ON
