verse 1 Does anybody know how long to World War Three? I wanna know, I've gotta book me holidee. They want me in the army, but I just can't go, I'm far too busy listening to the radio. The whole things daft, I don't know why You have to laugh or else you cry You have to live or else you die You have to laugh of else you cry verse 2 My friends say that we're heading for a grotty time, It's just a load of slapstick in a pantomime, We're heading for disaster, but I just don't care, Shut your eyes and count to ten, you won't be there. The whole things daft, I don't know why You have to laugh or else you cry You have to live or else you die You have to laugh of else you cry
