Suicidal Tendencies - How Will I Laugh Tomorrow

Album “How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can’t Even Smile Today?“ (1988). Lyrics: Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down I cry for help, no one’s around Silently screaming as I bang my head against the wall It seems like no one cares at all Always an emotion, but how could I explain (how can I explain?) Kind of like the scent of a rose With words I can’t explain, the same with my pain Caught up in emotion, goes over my head (goes over my head!) Sometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death Am I living or am I dead? The clock keeps ticking, but nothing else seems to change Problems never solved, just rearranged And when I think about all the times that I’ve had Some were good most were bad I search for personality and I look for things I cannot see Love and peace flash through my mind; pain and hate is all I find Find no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true Lies and hate and agony; through my eyes that’s all I see If I’m gonna cry (will you wipe away my tears?) And if I’m gonna die (Lord please take away my fear) Before I drown in sorrow (I just want to say) How will I laugh tomorrow when I can’t even smile today? (Today today) when I can’t even smile today (Today today) when I can’t even smile today How will I laugh tomorrow (when I can’t even smile today?) How will I laugh tomorrow (when I can’t even smile today?) You think something’s funny? Laugh at this! So when I look outside my room, I see the world, but not the reason What is done to me is not fair; you call it pain I call it treason But I don’t know what to do, give me a sign I’ll take whatever But if you want me here I am, ain’t gonna die forever And I tried to warn ya, but you just turned away And I tried to tell ya, but not a word I say I cried out so loudly but you just covered your ears I gave you all the signs, but you ignored my tears So if you want me here I am; I sit here waiting for your decision But my body fights my mind; they’re headed straight for a collision So am I getting near, or am I still looking in all the wrong places But the only thing that seems to change are the looks on your faces Doesn’t like no one cares at all I search for personality and look for things I cannot see [Like no one cares at all] (Does anyone even care at all?) Love and peace flash through my mind; pain and hate is all I find [Like no one cares at all] (Seems like no one cares at all) Find no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true [Like no one cares at all] (Does anyone even care at all?) Lies and hate and agony; thru my eyes that’s all I see [Like no one cares at all, like no one cares at all] (Seems like no one cares at all) How will I laugh tomorrow? How will I laugh tomorrow? How will I laugh tomorrow? How will I laugh tomorrow when I can’t even smile today? (Today today) when I can’t even smile today (Today today) when I can’t even smile today How will I laugh tomorrow (when I can’t even smile today?) How will I laugh tomorrow (when I can’t even smile today?) Mike Muir – vocals Rocky George – guitar R.J. Herrera – drums Mike Clark – guitar Bob Heathcote – Bass
