Lyrics:
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
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

This is the BEST version! The sound is great!! Crisp and clear! Praise Jesus!! Edit: how is it possible that this only has 211k views?!?!

[@Justin-px5nu]

How is it that this song doesn’t get more recognition? It’s absolutely, without a doubt, a masterpiece. And this live performance is such a piece of art! More true words haven’t been spoken. Funny.

[@MissMaggiemouse13]

Totally agree. My favorite DMB song.

[@Roberta_Esposito]

100

[@terrirock8537]

💯💯💯I’m baffled

[@Sean-wp7st]

He's been playing it a lot this summer. 😊

[@nikolascamille6728]

Don’t worry we know 🫵🏼

[@rhythmguy1]

This is the absolute BEST version of this song I’ve ever heard. I already loved the message when it first came out. Watching them play it live totally upped the message. Way to go DMB!!!

[@rantuber8631]

Same

[@JeffCofC]

I love this song so much and don’t hesitate to put it in my top ten DMB tracks of all time. I remember when it came out as a single that I thought it would blow up and really catch on. I couldn’t imagine a single that could more perfectly capture what makes this band so special. When it didn’t become a big deal I was so bummed and realized they’re unlikely to have another hit. Not the end of the world but still…

[@ininkus]

Sweet Jesus, that’s a talented group of individuals right there.

[@Roberta_Esposito]

klein/ jesus😹 superbly talented

[@midsummersnight3848]

This band is incredible.

[@JupiterDreamLife]

Masterpiece! ❤

[@harryballz9486]

I love lyrics...An Englishman in New York is also a favorite, by Sting. Between that song and this, I am not sure which has better similes and or metaphors....Just brilliant. Learn the lyrics and close your eyes as its being sung. You will not be disappointed I guarantee it...

[@NicklasNylander87]

fan-fucking-tasic

[@dancingdays1382]

I love how this song contains so many sequences inside it , totally love it must be super difficult to play it live too!

[@khbgkh]

[@jakelilly365]

This song literally just put me in my childhood and I’m just feelin some type of way now.

[@leoncolman6955]

What a great song.

[@user-iq3ws6vb2w]

Обажаю!

[@LeeJiron]

I remember hearing this for the first time while streaming, and I had been a lifelong fan, but hadn’t purchased or heard this album in its entirety. I had to put this on repeat. Less than one month later I had it inked on me. ❤

[@romankuzminov]

I’ve seen deep purple several times live, what you are doing - the best. Can’t count who many times i watched it)

[@kelseyrenfro9041]

I remember hearing this song come on in my mom's car when I was very little (She loves Dave Matthews) and despite the fact that I used to say I hated Dave Matthews band,, I have always danced to this song. Btw, I haven't found a song that I don't like from this band (except Captain)

[@tuckerbamberg7647]

Ugh you don’t like Captain? Listen to the original version from the Lillywhite Sessions… it’s so much better than the cut that made the Busted Stuff album

[@wizardrybeatlabs]

Man what a jam!

[@NishantMankarRocker]

I didn't know King Booker is such an awesome Voilin player 😍💖💖🔥🔥

[@MrKahlerHahn]

ALL HAIL KING BOOKAH!

[@sslurgio3431]
