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?

And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I want to know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? (oh oh)
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? (yeah)

And as I walk on through these troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
Tell me, where are the strong?
Who are the trusted, yeah?
Where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony

And each time I feel it slippin' away
Just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? (oh oh)
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? (yeah, yeah)

And where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony

And each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? (yeah)
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? (yeah)
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? (yeah)

Peace, love, and understanding
(Peace, love, and understanding)
(Peace, love)
Peace, love, love, and understanding
(Peace, love, and understanding)
(Peace, love)
Love
(Peace, love, and understanding)
(Peace, love)
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Peace, love, and understanding
Peace, love, love, and understanding
I wanna know, I wanna know what's so funny 'bout
Wanna know what's so, what's so funny 'bout
Peace, love, and understanding?
Peace, love, and understanding
Peace, love, and understanding
