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
