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

"(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding" foi escrita em 1974 por Nick Lowe, cantor e compositor inglês.
A primeira gravação da música foi feita pela banda de Lowe, Brinsley Schwarz, no álbum *The New Favourites of... Brinsley Schwarz* de 1974.
Apesar de ter sido lançada como single, a versão original de Brinsley Schwarz não chegou a entrar nas paradas musicais.
A versão mais conhecida foi a de Elvis Costello & The Attractions, que apareceu como B‑side do single solo de Nick Lowe “American Squirm” em 1978.
Essa gravação de Elvis Costello foi incluída na edição americana do álbum *Armed Forces* de 1979, ampliando seu alcance internacional.
