Lagwagon - Don't Laugh at Me (Lyrics)

Album: Hang
Year: 2014
Lyrics:
I'm a little boy with glasses, the one they call a geek
A young girl who never smiles 'cause I've got braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels
To cry myself to sleep
I'm a kid on every playground who's always chosen last
A single teenage mother trying to overcome her past
You don't have to be my friend
But is that too much to ask?
Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
Deep inside we're all the same
We all need hope and care and love
Don’t laugh at me
I lost my wife and little boy when someone crossed that yellow line
The day they laid them in the ground the day I lost my mind
And now I'm down to holding
This little cardboard sign
I'm the beggar on the corner you've passed me on the street
And I wouldn't be out here begging if I had enough to eat
And don’t think I don’t know this
That I was never neat
Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
Deep inside we're all the same
We all need hope and care and love
Don’t laugh at me
I'm rich I'm poor, I'm big I'm small
I'm deaf I'm blind, does it really matter after all?
I'm rich I'm poor, I'm big I'm small
I'm deaf I'm blind, does it really matter after all?
I'm rich I'm poor, I'm big I'm small
I'm deaf I'm blind
Does it really matter after all?
Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names (I'm rich I'm poor)
Don't get your pleasure from my pain (I'm big I'm small, I'm deaf I'm blind)
Deep inside (Does it really matter after all?)
We're all the same (I'm rich I'm poor)
We all need hope and care and love (I'm big I'm small, I'm deaf I'm blind)
Don't laugh at me

Sang the original Mark Wills version in Chorus back in 99. This song is forever burned in my brain. How many times we practiced this, good lord.

[@shonmoody1706]

Almost every punk cover I like 10x better original. This one is like infinately better...wow. That riff they added is awesome.

[@Jalushun]

Really good cover of a 90s song :D

[@yourpalkpal6642]

who wrote the original?

[@danielpursino2020]

Actually it was originally by Peter Paul and Mary. Written in the 70s I think. But I could be wrong.

[@SnyderBarry]

Powerful song!

[@sabahbubbler]

Holy fuck, they actually cover Steve Seskin song

[@7eonardo2]

It's from the bonus track version of Hang, it comes with a cover of 'Exit' by No Use for a Nme

[@old_school_death_metal]

ahh, some lyrics are wrong... Like the beggar part.

[@mwright3471]

Rudy Simmons grow up mate, not cool to drop the n-bomb you bafoon. i'm sure joey changed the lyrics slightly as the original say's 'Cripple' which i'm sure he didn't want recorded.

[@barrychuckle5565]

+m wright I'm pretty sure u all mean BUFFOON...u buffoons :)

[@stevenkortland2934]

Great song!! I dont`t get it, this should have made it to the album.

[@PunkyCB7]

when you pre-ordered this record, two bonus songs, this one and « Exit » originally from NUFAN but covered by Tony's friends … LAGWAGON

[@wide_awake]

Dude I can’t believe I never heard this! I knew they released bonus tracks but totally forgot it. The vinyl I bought when it dropped doesn’t have the two. When were they included?? What release? Soo good

[@ozneztarg]

Bonus EP from Hang deluxe vinyl

[@punkgrl325]

Yo for real! I’m late as hell! Wtf, I wouldn’t have even known about it if not for a casual name drop in the Obsolete Absolute music video comments made recently. Time to go thank that kind stranger!

[@amypike818]

I hurt when rapists laugh at me. All laughter reminds me of that laughter and the laughers today know it. they laugh at me for hurting from the pain of the rapes. And they are laughing still. mocking.
