Dave Matthews Band - Funny the Way It Is lyrics

Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sun shine on the grass and the children play
Siren’s passing, fire engine's 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 rolls
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
And 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 lover's kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze
Or water to a fish
A bomb blast brings the building
Crashing to the floor
Hear the laughter while the children play war

Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
One kid walks ten 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

Standing on the bridge
Watch the water passing under me
It must’ve 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 rivers and stars

Watch the sky in a jet plane
So far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me?
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time
He’ll never catch her
But he can’t stop trying
See Dave Matthews Band Live
Get tickets as low as $6

Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
One kid walks ten 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
And if you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
Another’s dropping out

Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing under me
It must’ve 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
