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

Hmi

Somebody’s goin’ hungry

And someone else is eatin’ out

Funny the way it is

Whether right or wrong

Hmi

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...
