Lying in the park on a beautiful day Sunshine in the gra**, and the children play Sirens pa**ing, fire engine red Someones house is burning down on a day like this The evening comes and were hanging out On the front step and a car rolls by with the windows rolled down And that war song is playing, why cant we be friends? Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs Funny the way it is, if you think about it Somebodys going hungry and someone else is eating out Funny the way it is, not right or wrong Somebodys heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss Like a pretty bird on a breeze or like water to a fish A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor You hear the laughter while the children play war Funny the way it is, if you think about it One kid walks 10 miles to school, anothers dropping out Funny the way it is, not right or wrong On a soldiers last breath his babys being born Standing on a bridge, watch the water pa**ing under me 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 cant stop trying Funny the way it is, if you think about it One kid walks 10 miles to school, anothers dropping out Funny the way it is, not right or wrong On a soldiers last breath his babys being born Funny the way it is, not right or wrong Somebodys broken heart becomes your favorite song Funny the way it is, if you think about it A kid walks 10 miles to school, anothers dropping out Standing on a bridge, watch the water pa**ing under me 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
