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,
Just makes me want to say:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

As I walked on
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

And each time I feel like this inside,
Just makes me want to say:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What`s so funny about peace, love and understanding?
