Lyin' in the p

ark
     
On a beautiful

 day
            
Sun shine in t

              
he grass and t

   
he children pl

ay

Siren's passin

'

Fire engine's 

red
            
Someone's hous

              
e is burning d

         
own on a day l

ike this


       
The evening co

mes
          
And we're hang

in' out
              
On the front s


tep
              
And a car goes

             
 by with the w

indows rolled 

down
            
And that war s

              
ong is playin 

           
“why can't we 

be friends ”
            
Someone's scre

              
amin' and cryi

          
n' in the apar

tment upstairs



Funny the way 

it is
           
And if you thi

nk about it
    
Somebody's goi

n' hungry
            
And someone el

se is eatin' o

ut

Funny the way 

it is
        
Whether right 

or wrong
         
Somebody's hea

rt is broken
       
And it becomes

 your favorite

 song

The way your m

              
outh feels in 

     
your lover's k

iss
              
Like a pretty 


bird on a bree

ze
   
Or water to a 

fish
            
But a bomb bla

              
st brings the 

         
building crash

in' to the flo

or
            
Hear the laugh

              
ter while the 


children play 

war

[Chorus]

Funny the way

And if you thi

nk about it
        
One kid walks 

1 miles to sch

ool
      
While another'

s droppin' out

Funny the way 

it is
          
No matter righ

t or wrong
       
On a soldier's

 last breath
     
His baby's bei

ng born

When there was no Bridge just water
            
Now the world

Remember how i

With mountains

Interlude - x -    

[Verse]
            
Watch the sky 

    
the jet-planes
              
So far out of 

    
my reach
              
Is there someo

              
ne up there lo

      
okin' down on 

me

Boy chase a bi

rd
   
So close but e

very time
   
He never catch

 her
       
But he can't s

top trying
