[Verse 1]
As I walk 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 want to know
What's so funny about peace love and understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny about peace love and understanding?

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Because each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me want to cry
What's so funny about peace love and understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny about peace love and understanding?
[Bridge]
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony

[Chorus]
Because each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me want to cry
What's so funny about peace love and understanding? Ohhhh [x2]
What's so funny about peace love and understanding?
