Who's Laughing Now

Derided and laughed upon

The critics had their fun

But he don't mind

It will look different when he's done

A too controversial lie

And all the kids do understand

What he's about

In this moderated land

But who's laughing now?

And who's looking blank?

Yeah, who's laughing now

All the way to the bank?

Who's laughing now?

And who went up in rank?

Yeah, who's laughing now

All the way to the bank? Yeah

Too old, too blind to see

The magic in this man

The jealous kind

Will never be a fan

And he never doubted

In himself for what he can

For good and worse

He always stuck to his own plan

But who's laughing now?

And who's looking blank?

Yeah, who's laughing now

All the way to the bank?

Who's laughing now?

And who went up in rank?

Now, who's laughing now

All the way to the bank?

He's always been against the grain

I give him credit for staying sane

It takes a lot to go that route

He found his own way out

Fine inspiration and a cure

For anyone who's been ignored

Only for them he'll take a bow

But who's laughing now?

And who's looking blank?

Yeah, who's laughing now

All the way to the bank?

Who's laughing now?

And who went up in rank?

Yeah, who's laughing now

All the way to the bank? Yeah

Oh, yeah

Look who's laughing now

Look who's laughing now, yeah

Oh, yeah

Look who's laughing now

And look who's laughing now, ha-ha!
