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?





And each time I feel like this inside,

There's one thing I wanna know:


What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh


What's so funny 'bout peace love & 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.




'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.


What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh


What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?







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 & understanding? Ohhhh

What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh


What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
