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 1]
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?

And as I walked 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 2]
´Cause each time I feel it slipping away

Just makes me want to cry
What´s so funny ´bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what´s so funny ´bout peace, love and understanding?

[Verse 2 excerpt]
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony

[Chorus 2 - Outro]
´Cause each time I feel it slipping away
Just makes me want to cry
What´s so funny ´bout peace, love and understanding?

Oh, what´s so funny ´bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what´s so funny ´bout peace, love and understanding?
