Funny the Way it is ("Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King", 2009)
Lying in the park on a beautiful day The sunshine in the grass And my 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 Make 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 Make you think about it One kid walks ten miles to school Anothers 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 Make you think about it One kid walks ten miles to school Anothers 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 Make you think about it One kid walks ten miles to school Anothers 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
