“(What's So Funny
'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding” is a 1974 song written by English
singer/songwriter Nick Lowe and recorded in the best-known version by Elvis Costello.
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?,
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?
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?,
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?
