Lyrics
Back at Central High there were 2 parking lots
one full of rednecks, the other full of jocks
If you were in between, man that choice was tough
Just pick a spot, pray to God that they don't call your bluff
Ain't it funny where we draw the lines
what sets apart you and yours from me and mine
Ain't it funny how something so small
makes the world seem bigger, puts fear in us all
Ain't it funny, man, ain't it funny
there's a brand new family just moved here from Japan
He's 3rd generation navy, she's from Afghanistan
Wonder what she thinks of the strangers down the block
Our kids play together, but we don't even talk
Maybe I'll make that walk
Ain't it funny where we draw the lines
what sets apart you and yours from me and mine
Ain't it funny how something so small
makes the world seem bigger, puts fear in us all
Ain't it funny, man, ain't it funny
Well, it's a double-edged sword, a twist of fate
Sister's a Democrat
Then you're in a jam, need a helpin' hand
and guess who's got your back
Ain't it funny where we draw the lines
what sets apart you and yours from me and mine
Ain't it funny how something so small
makes the world seem bigger, puts fear in us all
Ain't it funny, man...
