[What's So Funny 'Bout] Peace, Love and Understanding

As I walk

This wicked world

Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity

Oh yeah

I ask myself:

Is all hope lost?

Is there only pain, hatred and misery?

Oh yeah

And each time I feel like this inside

There's one thing I wanna know:

Oh, 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 downhearted

Sometimes, sometimes

So where are the strong?

Who are the trusted?

And where is the harmony?

Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away

It just makes me wanna cry

So, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace and love?

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

"We must have peace

More peace and love

It's just for the children

Of a new generation"

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

It just makes me wanna cry

So, 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 a little peace and love?

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
