Laughing Man

Suzie take that hair down girl
take that shadow off your eyes
startin to look like Hollywood
like someone I don't recognize
but you don't have to go that route
cause that ain't what it's all about
take it from a laughing man
take it from a laughing man
we are the animal
we are the stranger
Billy put that gun down boy
you're too young to play with fire
your daddy treats it like a toy
now all he can see is bars
but you don't have to go down that route
cause that ain't what its all about
take it from a laughing man
take it from a laughing man
we are the animal
we are the stranger
stranger, stranger
she says hey angel
there's something you don't wanna show
but it's okay angel
cause i already know
i know, i know
take it from a laughing man
take it from a laughing man
oh a laughing man
yeah a laughing man
stranger, stranger, stranger
