Funny the Way It Is - DMB - Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King + LYRICS

New Song from Dave Matthews Band (DMB) in memory of Leroi Moore.

Lying in the park
On a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass
And the children play
Sirens passin
Fire engine red
Someones house is burnin down
On a day like this
The evening comes
And we hang out
On the front steps
And a car rolls by with the windows down
And that old song was playin Why cant we be Friends
Someone is screamin and cryin
In the apartment upstairs

(CHORUS)

Funny the way it is
If you think about it
Somebodys going hungry
And someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebodys heart is broken
It becomes your favorite song

The way your mouth feels
Your lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on the breeze
Or water to a fish
A 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
Anothers droppin out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
On a soldiers last breath
His babys being born


Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passin under me
Musta been much harder when
There was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Remember how it used to be
Were mountains and oceans
And winters and rivers
And stars

Watch the sky the jetplanes
Over out of my reach
Is there someone up there
Lookin down on me
A boy chases a bird
So close but every time
Never catch her but
He cant stop trying

Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
Anothers droppin out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
On a soldiers last breath
His babys being born

Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebodys heart is broken
It becomes your favorite song

Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
Anothers droppin out

Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passin under me
Musta been much harder when
There was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Remember how it used to be
Were mountains and oceans
And winters and rivers
And stars

Standing on a bridge verse is definitely the best par of the song. I always sing along to that part! :)

The lyrics to the second verse say: "That "War"song is playing "why can't we be friends"....not, "that old song" just sayin'

"Remember how it used to be with mountains, and oceans, and winters, and rivers, and stars..." I don't know why but that line always makes me feel just so sad!

[ColonelSheppard]

Why none of that is funny at all! For shame DMB! For SHAME!

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me it must've been much harder now 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...

This song most definitely has LeRoi written all over it! Miss him to death! Can't wait to see DMB this weekend in Philly!

Most talented band in the world. The whole album is amazing.
