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   And evening comes and were 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      Chorus   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 lovers kiss   Like a pretty bird on a breeze   Or water to a fish   A bomb blast brings a building   Crashing to the floor   Hear the laughter   While the children play war      Chorus   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 is 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   Compared to how it used to be   With mountains and oceans and winters   And rivers and stars      Watch 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 every time   He never catch her   But he can’t stop trying      Chorus   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      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 10 miles to school   Another’s 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   Compared to how it used to be   With mountains and oceans and winters   And rivers and stars
