Funny The Way It Is (Lyrics)
Funny The Way It Is
Lyin’ in the park
On a beautiful day
Sun shine on the grass
And the children play
Siren’s passin’
Fire engine’s red
Someone’s house is burning down
On a day like this
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 is screamin’ and cryin’ in the apartment upstairs
Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
Somebody’s is goin’ hungry
And someone else is eatin’ now
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 lover’s kiss
Like a pretty bird on the 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
Funny the way it is
And if you think a bout it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another’s droppin’ out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath
His baby’s being born
Standin’ on the 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 mountains, and oceans, and winters, and river’s and stars
Watch the sky in a jet plane
So far out of my reach
Is there someone up there lookin’ down on me?
Boy chase a bird
So close but every time
He never catch her
But he can’t stop trying
Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another’s droppin’ 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
And if you think a bout it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another’s droppin’ out
Standin’ on the 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 mountains, and oceans, and winter’s, and river’s and stars
