Laughing On Judgement Day

(album: Laughing On Judgement Day - 1992)

There's a man with a flash car living right next to me
He's got so much, he keeps it under lock and key
And he don't give a damn about the people he turns away
He's too busy making money to give them the time of day

Gonna get a heart attack 'cos he works late all the time
I swear he doesn't know his kids, his wife thinks it's a crime
It's not the way for me, taking life so seriously
When the end comes I wanna be laughing on judgement day

I was thinking 'bout the time when I couldn't afford a beer
And wondering why there's so many women 'round here
Then the truth stepped up and hit me like a ton of lead
Now the children of the night want to know me, there's a price upon my head

Well you know it makes me laugh 'cos I've been around a while
I ought to make her happy before I'm out of style
'Cos now I've got a dream to sell, she got her feet in the wishing well
Bite the apple and you get to hell, laughing on judgement day
I'm gonna laugh that day away

You know he's gonna get a heart attack 'cos he works late all the time
I swear he doesn't know his kids, his wife thinks it's a crime
It's not the way for me, taking life so seriously
When the end comes I wanna be laughing on judgement day

'Cos now I've got a dream to sell, she got her feet in the wishing well
Bite the apple and you get to hell, laughing on judgement day
I'm gonna laugh that day away
