| As I walk on 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 wanna know, |
| What’s so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?, |
| What’s so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? |
| 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 |
| 'Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry, |
| What’s so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?, |
