You never know what hits you till your black and blue You never get the picture til the movie's through And even if you do it doesnt mean a thing You're only gonna play it like a fool again The whole things daft, I dont know why You have to laugh or else you cry You have to live or else you die You have to laugh of else you cry You tell yourself you're sick and tired of getting burned And then you realize youre never gonna learn You think youre gonna get it but you just dont know You want it but forget it cause you move too slow The whole things daft, I dont know why You have to laugh or else you cry You have to live or else you die You have to laugh of else you cry We all need time To unwind and get away Far from ourselves Everyone, everyday The whole things daft, I dont know why You have to laugh or else you cry You have to live or else you die You have to laugh of else you cry
