Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds - Funny The Way It Is lyrics

Lying in the park on a beautiful day The 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 a 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 If you think about it Somebodies going hungry And someone else is eating out Funny the way it is Not right or wrong Somebodies 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 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 An others dropping out Funny the way it is Not right or wrong A soldiers last breath His babies 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 use to be With mountains and oceans And winters and rivers and stars Funny the way it is If you think about it One kid walks ten miles to school An others dropping out Funny the way it is Not right or wrong A soldiers last breath His babies being born Funny the way it is Not right or wrong Somebodies broken heart And it becomes your favorite song Funny the way it is If you think about it One kid walks ten miles to school An others 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 use to be With mountains and oceans And winters and rivers and stars
