"Laughter Lou (Who Needs You?)" lyrics

You criticize most everything
Hey, but what have you ever done
You're always putting something down
Or laughing at someone
Don't matter who or what it is
You give us your critique
No matter with or where it is
You've always got to speak

Oh, Laughter Lou
Who needs you?
Smile, your grin and laugh again
But tell me who, who, who

Can't never tell what's something's like
'Til you've been there yourself
If you've spent your whole life sitting down, just watching some else
You've been never known the face-to-face of what is like to try
You only know that picture book that lies behind your eyes

And Laughter Lou, who needs you?
Smile, your grin and laugh again
But tell me who, who, who?
Oh, surrender
Surrender

You criticize most everyone, you'd ever have you got to show
At least the ones you're putting down got up to have a go
I ain't know one said the life in there, or as up above no sludge
Just give me one good reason why
You are qualified to judge

Laughter Lou, who needs you?
Smile, your grin and laugh again
But tell me who, who, who?
Surrender
