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? Each time I feel like slipping away, It just makes me wanna say: 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 can be trusted? And where is the harmony? Sweet harmony. Each time I feel like slipping away, It just makes me wanna say: What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?
