Dave Matthews Band - Funny the way it is

Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass and the children play
Sirens passing, fire engine red
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this

The evening comes and we're hanging out
On a front step and a car goes by with the windows rolled down
And The War song is playing, "Why can't we be friends?"
Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs

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 snd it becomes your favorite song

The way your mouth feels in your lover's kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish
The bomb blast brings the building crashing to the floor
Hear the laughter while the children play war

Funny the way it is if you think about it
One kid walks ten 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

Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing underneath
It must've been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Remember how it used to be
With mountains and oceans
And winters and rivers and stars?

Watch the sky, the jet planes, so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me?
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time
He'll never catch her, but he can't stop trying

Funny the way it is if you think about it
One kid walks ten 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 ten miles to school, another's dropping out

Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing underneath
It must've been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Remember how it used to be
With mountains and oceans
And winters and rivers and stars?
