Who's Laughing Now

Delighted and laughed upon
The critics had their fun
But he don't mind
And 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

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
Yeah 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 fought 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

Looks who's laughing now.
