Funny The Way It Is

1. Lyin’ in the park on a beautiful day
Sun shine in the grass and the children play
Siren’s passin’ fire engine’s red
Someone’s house is burning down on a day like this

2. The evening comes and we’re hangin’ out
On the front step and a car goes by with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playin “why can’t we be friends?”
Someone's screamin’ and cryin’ in the apartment upstairs

R1: Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
Somebody’s goin’ hungry
And someone else is eatin’ out
Funny the way it is
Whether right or wrong
Somebody’s heart is broken
And it becomes your favorite song

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

R2: Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
While another’s droppin’ out
Funny the way it is
No matter right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath
His baby’s being born

*: Standin’ on a bridge
Watch the water passin’ under me
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Remember how it used to be
(With..)

With mountain, and oceans, and winter’s, and river’s and stars


4. Watch the sky the jetplanes so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there lookin’ down on me?
Boy chase a bird so close but everytime
He never catch her but he *can’t stop trying


R2: Funny the way it is...

R3: Funny the way it is
No matter right or wrong
Somebody’s broken heart
And it becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
While another’s droppin’ out

*: Standin’ on a bridge...
