Dave Matthews Band - Funny the way it is - live from wrigley field lyrics

Lying in the park on a beautiful day Sunshine in the gra** and the children play Sirens pa**ing, fire engine red Someone's house is burning down on a day like this The evening comes and we're 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 Funny the way it is and 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 your lover's kiss Like a pretty bird on the breeze or water to a fish But a 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 pa**ing underneath 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'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 pa**ing underneath 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
