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 red
Someone's house is burning down
On a day like this

Evening comes
And we're hanging out
On the front step
And a car goes by
With the windows rolled down
That war song is playing
"Why can't we be friends"
Someone's screaming and crying
In the apartment upstairs

Funny the way it is
If you think about it
Somebody's going hungry
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 lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze
Or water to a fish
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 ten miles to schoo
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
Compared to 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
A boy chase a bird
So close but everytime
He never catch her
But he can't stop trying

Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
Another's droppin' out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
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 ten 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 small
Compared to how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and
Winters and rivers and stars

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Dave Matthews Band is an American musical group formed in Virginia in the early 1990s by Dave Matthews, a native of South Africa. The band has gained a large fan base thanks to constant college tours. Although their music is rooted in live performance, the group's acoustic rock is influenced by jazz and world music, creating a mix that's difficult to pin down. Among the most representative songs are "Crash Into Me", "Ants Marching" and "What Would You Say". The self-titled debut album (1996) marked the beginning of a successful career, with subsequent albums like "Under the Table and Dreaming" (1994) and "Everyday" (2001) that have consolidated their popularity.
