As I walk 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?

But each time I feel it slippin' away
Just makes me wanna say, what's so funny 'bout
Peace, love and understanding? ...Oh, what's -
So funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walk on through troubled times
My spirit gets so down-hearted sometimes
So where are the strong & who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony? ...Sweet harmony?

Each time I feel like this inside
Just makes me wanna say, 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... what's so funny 'bout
Peace, love and understanding?
