(What's So Funny 'bout) Peace, Love and ... Lyrics
As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' 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 & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & 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 slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?


So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

Pretty straightforward. Pretty timely.
I love the honesty and vulnerability of this song - it's so anti-macho that it's kinda badass, in that Morrissey "it takes strength to be gentle and kind" way.

What a great song? Maybe George W. Bush should read this? Oh wait, he can't read.

Chinup - I sorta see where your coming from, yet I can't see your link to Morrissey in the 'badass' sense!

Great song -- very nice to see Elvis sing it when he was hosting Letterman. He'd just had a new album come out but played this as a statement instead. Love him!!

This song sums up exactly how I feel about the way the human race is... nothing saddens me more than the amount of hate and intolerance that still exists in the world... and, really, what is so funny about peace, love and understanding? why does it always have to be fighting and killing and hatred... why can't anything be sorted out without those things? the fighting, killing and hatred just spreads more of the same, so surely people should realise it's not the right way. what's so funny about peace, love and understanding?!

Of course, this song was written by Nick Lowe, not Elvis. Great song nonetheless, but like many other Nick Lwe songs, this one is dripping with irony.
