The first single from the new album is out today and RCA is offering a free download. Here are the lyrics:

Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sun shining in the grass and the children play
Sirens pass and fire engine red
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this

And evening comes and we're hanging out
On the front step and the car goes by with the windows rolled down
And that old song is playing why can't we be friends
Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs

Funny the way it is, and 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 laughter as the children play war

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school, another is dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier's last breath, his baby is 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

Across the sky a 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 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 is dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier's last breath his baby is 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 is 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, remember how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
