As I walk through
This wicked world
Searching for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself
"Is all hope lost? "
"Is there only pain and hatred and misery? "

'Cause each time I feel like this inside
One thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

As I walk on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
And where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slipping away
One thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

Oh, where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
Where is the harmony?
Sweet, sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slipping away
One thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
