Elvis Costello — Whats So Funny Bout Peace Love and Understanding

[Verse 1] 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] And each time I feel like this inside There's one thing I wanna know What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 'Cause each time I feel it slipping away Just makes me want to cry What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? [Instrumental break] [Verse 2 excerpt] So where are the strong? And who are the trusted? And where is the harmony? Sweet harmony [Chorus 2 - Outro] 'Cause each time I feel it slipping away Just makes me want to cry 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 peace, love and understanding?
