Songtekst

Lying in the park on a beautiful day 
Sunshine in the grass, and the children play 
Siren's passing, 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 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, 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 your lover's kiss 
Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish 
A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor 
You 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's being born

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, remember how it used to be 
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars

Watch the sky, the jet planes, 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

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 
A kid walks 10 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, remember how it used to be 
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
