Текст песне : Dave Matthews Band. Funny The Way It Is.

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

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
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 lover?s kiss
Like a pretty bird on a 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
If you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
And another?s dropping out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
A soldier?s last breath and a baby?s 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
?Member how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars

Watch the sky and jetplanes
So far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me
Boy it takes a bird so close but every time
They never catch her
But they can?t stop trying

Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another is dropping out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
A soldier?s last breath and a baby?s being born

Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebody?s broken heart becomes your favorite song
Funny they way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
And other is 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
?Member how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
