Funny the way it is
Lying in the park
On a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass
And the children play
Sirens passing
Fire engine´s 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 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
Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
Somebody´s is 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 the breeze
Or water to a fish
A bomb blast brings the building crashing to the floor
Hear the laughter while the children play war
Funny the way it is
And if you think a bout 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 underneath
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 mountains, and oceans, and winters, and rivers and stars
Cross the sky a jet plane
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 never catch her
But he can´t stop trying
Funny the way it is
And 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
And if you think a bout it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another´s dropping out
Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing underneath
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is
