Dave Matthews Band

Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass and the children play
Sirens pass and fire engine red
Someone's house is burning down
On a day like this
And evening comes and were hanging out
On the front step and a car goes
By with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing
Why can't we be friends?
Someone is screaming and crying
In the apartment upstairs
Chorus
Funny the way it is
If you think about it
Somebody's going hungry
And someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody's heart is broken
And it becomes your favorite song
The way your mouth feels
In a lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze
Or water to a fish
A bomb blast brings a building
Crashing to the floor
Hear the laughter
While the children play war
Chorus
Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another's dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier's last breath
His baby is being born
Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing under me
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Compared to how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters
And rivers and stars
Watch the sky
A jet plane so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there
Looking down on me?
A boy chase a bird
So close but every time
He never catch her
But he can't stop trying
Chorus
Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another's dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier's last breath
His baby's being born
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebody's broken heart
Becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another's dropping out
Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing under me
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Compared to how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters
And rivers and stars
