These are the (abridged) lyrics to a Regina Spektor song that I like.
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one's laughing at God when it's gotten real late and their kid's not back from that party yet
(Chorus)
But God can be funny
When you're at a cocktail party listening to a good God-themed joke
Or when the crazies say he hates us and they get so red in the head you think they're about to choke
God can be funny
When told he'll give you money if you only pray the right way
Or when treated like a genie who does magic like Houdini
or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket or Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one's laughing at God when they've lost all they've got and they don't know what for
(Chorus)
No one's laughing at God
No one's laughing at God
No one's laughing at God
We're all laughing with God.
