[Verse 1] 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?" [Chorus] And each time I feel like this inside There's one thing I wanna know What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? [Verse 2] And as I walk on through troubled times My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes So where are the strong and who are the trusted? And where is the harmony, sweet harmony? [Chorus] 'Cause each time I feel it slipping away Just makes me wanna cry What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? [Instrumental Break] [Refrain] So where are the strong and who are the trusted? And where is the harmony, sweet harmony? [Chorus] 'Cause each time I feel it slipping away Just makes me wanna cry What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh [Outro] What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
