Lyrics

As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
Oh yeah
I asked myself, is all hope gone?
Is there only pain, hatred, and misery?
Oh yeah
And each time I feel like this inside
(This inside)
There's one thing I want to know
(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 slipping away
(Slipping away)
It just makes me want to cry
(Cry)
Oh 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 than love
It's just for the children
Of the me generation
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
(Slipping away)
It jst makes me want to cry
(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 little peace and love, yeah, yeah, yeah?
