Funny The Way It Is Lyrics

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
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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/funny-the-way-it-is-lyrics-dave-matthews-band.html ]
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, 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 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

I sent in the corrected lyrics without any typo's, correct grammar placement (comma's and such) but these lyrics aren't mine, but better than before.

Well, I just checked the those are the lyrics I submitted, I forgot I sent those in after cleaning up the wrong lyrical parts, I didn't clean up all the grammar though, and I typoed. My first submission though and it was taken.

Some of the lyrics are messed up... "A soldier's last breath hi baby's being born" not "Oh, a soldier's last breath and a baby's being born" & "Funny the way it is not right or wrong" not "funny the way it is nor right or wrong" & "Now the world is small, compared to how it use to be with mountains and oceans and winters and stars" not "Now the world is small. Remember how it used to be, with mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars?" & "One Kid" not "A kid" There are more mistakes...
