(What’s So Funny ’Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding Midnight Oil

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?"

[Chorus 1]
'Cause each time I feel like this inside
One thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love & understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love & understanding?

As I walk on
Through troubled time
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
And where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony

[Chorus 2]
'Cause each time I feel it slipping away
One thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love & understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love & understanding?
