Funny The Way It Is Lyrics - Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King - Dave Matthews Band

Lying in the park on a beautiful day 

Sunshine in the grass, and the children play 

Siren's passing, 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 rolls 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

Every Lyric From Keith Urban's New Album 'Graffiti U' 

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss 

Like a pretty bird on a breeze or 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, 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 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 

He'll never catch her, but he can't stop trying

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, if you think about it 

A kid walks 10 miles to school, another's 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
