Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass and the children play
Sirens passing fire engine red
Someones house is burning down
On a day like this
The evening comes and were hanging out
On the front step and a car rolls by
With the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing
Why cant we be friends
Someone is screaming and crying
In the apartment upstairs
Funny the way it is if you think about it
Somebodys going hungry
And someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is not right or wrong
Somebodys heart is broken
And it becomes your favorite song
The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze
Or like 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
Anothers dropping out
Funny the way it is not right or wrong
On a soldiers last breath his babys 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
Hell never catch her but he cant stop trying
Funny the way it is if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Anothers dropping out
Funny the way it is not right or wrong
On a soldiers last breath his babys being born
Funny the way it is not right or wrong
Somebodys broken heart becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is if you think about it
A kid walks 10 miles to school
Anothers 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
