[Verse 1]
As I walk on 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 understandin'?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understandin'? (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
As I walk on through these troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
Tell me, where are the strong and who are the trusted, yeah?
Where is that harmony, sweet harmony?

[Chorus]
And each time I feel it slippin' away
Just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understandin'?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understandin'? (Yeah, yeah)

[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 2]
And where are the strong and who are the trusted?
And where is that harmony, sweet harmony?

[Chorus]
And each time I feel it slippin' away
Just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understandin'?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understandin'? (Yeah)
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understandin'? (Yeah)
