The closing track of the U.S. release of Elvis Costello’s third album, Armed Forces. It was written by Nick Lowe about the cruelty and hatred of the human race.
[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]
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 walk 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]
'Cause each time I feel it slipping away
Just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
So where are the strong and who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?
[Chorus]
'Cause each time I feel it slipping away
Just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
[Outro]
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
