IMO best thing about it is that it's typical DMB combined with actual meaning to the song (which Dave kinda overlooks sometimes in his songs  ) |

I gotta re-listen to the lyrics then. I thought it was just typical DMB too  |

Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass and the 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 the 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 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 lover's 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, 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 underneath
It must have 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 plane, so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me?
A 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 ten 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
One kid walks ten miles to school, another's dropping out
Standing on the bridge
Watch the water passing underneath
It must have 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

A boy chase a bird, so close, but every time
He'll never catch her, but he can't stop trying  best part of the entire song.
