It's not the laughter of rain in the drain

It's not the laughter of a man in pain

It's not the laughter you can hide behind

It's not the laughter of a frightened mind

Balanced on the brink only waiting for a shove

You better listen for the laugh of love



It's not the laughter of the gloating rich

It's not the laughter of the sacred bitch

It's not the laughter of the macho fool

It's not the laughter that obeys the rules

More of a chain saw in a velvet glove

You better listen for the laugh of love



It's not the laughter of a child with toys

It's not the laughter of the president's boys

It's not the laughter of the media king

This laughter doesn't sell you anything

It's the wind in the wings of a diving dove

You better listen for the laugh of love

Whatever else you might be thinking of

You better listen for the laugh of love
