Artist/Band: Dave Matthews Band
Lyrics for Song: Funny The Way It Is
Lyrics for Album: Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King [2009]



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



Chorus

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



Chorus

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



Chorus

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
