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:

Can't say I could find anything likeable about this song.

I love the raw edge and energy of the song and the overall classic punk feel of the song. Reminds me of early Jam, Buzzcocks, sex pistols, Magazine and those types.

The tightness of the musicians is excellent. I mean super tight. This track got got better about the 2 minute mark. The guitar solo is good. I like the tone of the guitar. The melody is good as well. I actually like the tempo change at the end. That was a good redeeming quality. Keep it up guys!

I Believe this is a real live Band! Ho-Ho! What A Sound!
