[Verse 1]
There's a sinister game that children play
Hey, hey, hey, hey
When they get to the end of each school day
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Pre-Chorus]
They spend their lives getting ready for the kill, ha

[Chorus]
Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back
Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back

[Verse 2]
Who remembers the names of fallen heroes?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Who remembers today to fly their flags?
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't say I loved ya
Like I did before, ha

[Chorus]
Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back
Laughing in the hiding bush
It's the laughing attack
The joker is back
He's wild in the pack
The joker is back
Laughing in the hiding, gonna kick him in the bush, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back
Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back
Laughing in the hiding bush
He's wild in the pack
Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back
