[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]
Each time I feel like slipping away
It just makes me wanna say
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

[Verse 2]
As I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
And who are the strong?
And who can be trusted?
Where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony, yeah

[Chorus]
Each time I feel like slipping away
It 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 peace, love and understanding?
