Funny the Way It Is

歌詞

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 And evening comes and were 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 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 a lovers kiss Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish A bomb blast brings a 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 10 miles to school Another's dropping out Funny the way it is Not right or wrong On a soldier's last breath His baby is being born Standing on a bridge Watch the water passing under me 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 never catch her but he can't stop trying Funny the way it is If you think about it One kid walks 10 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 10 miles to school Another's dropping out Standing on a bridge Watch the water passing under me 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
