Derided and laughed upon
The critics had their fun
But he don't mind
It will look different when he's doneA too controversial lie
And all the kids do understand
What he's about
In this moderated land[Chorus]
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 fanAnd he never doubted
In himself for what he can
For good and worse
He always stuck to his own plan[Chorus]He's always been against the grain
I give him credit for staying sane
It takes a lot to go that route
He found his own way outFine inspiration and a cure
For anyone who's been ignored
Only for them he'll take a bow[Chorus]
Yeah
Oh yeah
Looks who's laughing now
Looks who's laughing now, yeah
Oh yeah
Looks who's laughing now
And looks who's laughing now, ha ha!
