As I walk on 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 understandin'?
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understandin'?

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

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

So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, it just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understandin'?
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understandin'?
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understandin'?
