[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]
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]
'Causе each time I feel it slipping away
It just makes mе wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

[Bridge]
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
It just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny ’bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what’s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
