Lyrics:
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?"
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, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
And as I walk on through troubled times
my spirit gets so down-hearted sometimes
so where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is that harmony?  (Sweet harmony)
'cause each time I feel it slipping away
just makes me want to cry
what's so funny bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is that harmony? Sweet harmony
'cause each time I feel it slipping away
just makes me want to cry
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
