Funny The Way It Is

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

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 little 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, 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

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 droppin' out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
A soldier's last breath his baby's being born

Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing 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

Cross the sky a jet plane so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me
Boy chase the bird so close but every time
He 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 droppin' out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
A soldier's last breath his baby's being born

Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebody's broken heart, it becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is (Funny the way it is)
If you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school another's droppin' out

Standing on a bridge
Watch the watter passing 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
