Funny The Way It Is Lyrics - Live In Las Vegas - Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds

Lying in the park on a beautiful day 

The sunshine in the grass 

And the children play 

Sirens passing fire engine red 

Someone's house is burning down 

On a day like this 

The evening comes and we're hanging out 

On a 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 

Somebodies going hungry 

And someone else is eating out 

Funny the way it is 

Not right or wrong 

Somebodies 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 

The 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 school 

An others dropping out 

Funny the way it is 

Not right or wrong 

A soldiers last breath 

His babies 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 use to be 

With mountains and oceans 

And winters and rivers and stars 

Funny the way it is 

If you think about it 

One kid walks ten miles to school 

An others dropping out 

Funny the way it is 

Not right or wrong 

A soldiers last breath 

His babies being born 

Funny the way it is 

Not right or wrong 

Somebodies broken heart 

And it becomes your favorite song 

Funny the way it is 

If you think about it 

One kid walks ten miles to school 

An others 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 use to be 

With mountains and oceans 

And winters and rivers and stars
