As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself: is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so, so downhearted sometimes
So where is the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?

And each time I feel it slippin' away, it makes me just wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?

And each time I feel it slippin' away, it makes me just wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
