《The Guess Who Laughing》的詞曲作者是The Guess Who樂隊。其歌詞如下:
(Chorus)
They're laughing in the city, laughing on the streets
Trying to forget what's happened, what they've seen
Trying to get along, trying to make ends meet
But it's hard when you're alone, it's hard when you're alone
(Verse 1)
And the girls in the city, they don't care who you are
With your pocket full of money, and your head full of stars
They may not even notice, when you walk through the door
But you're not there for long, they don't care if you're gone
(Chorus)
And you say "It doesn't matter", what the world has in store
You're just trying to make it through another day
Trying to find a reason, trying to find a way
But it's hard when you're alone, it's hard when you're alone
(Bridge)
And you look up at the sky, and you wonder why
You're here on this planet, in this lonely disguise
And you try to understand, what it all means in the end
But it's hard when you're alone, it's hard when you're alone
(Chorus)
And so we keep on laughing, in this endless game
Trying to find our way through, the dark and the rain
Trying to find a reason, trying to find a name
But it's hard when you're alone, it's hard when you're alone
(Outro)
So we keep on laughing, we keep on laughing...
