Laugh and Be Happy Randy Newman

[Intro]
I know what's going on here
Ain't no great mystery
Y'all have lost faith in yourselves
It's as clear as it can be
You can whine all you want to
Drown in your misery
Or you can listen to me
Listen to me

[Chorus]
Laugh and be happy
Don't you ever wear a frown
Don't let the bastards grind you down
Laugh and be happy
It's a simple thing to do
Believe in your dream
And your dream will come true for you

[Post-Chorus]
Be a red sun shining in a sky so blue
Blackbirds singing in the trees
There'll be a real silver lining up there for me and you
Listen to me, listen to me

[Bridge]
Now the country that we're livin' in
You mean the good ol' USA?
That's right!
It's never been about keeping you out
It's about inviting you in and letting you play
