Elvis Costello - (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding Lyrics
As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
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 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?

Elvis Costello (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding Comments
Stanley Park, Vancouver.
This song is still super relevant today.
Unfortunately. Still boppin' tho
Lost in translation sent me here.... 🇯🇵!
Steve on lead guitar? Hmm.
I believe Bebe Buell.
One of my favorite songs, written (of course) by the great Nick Lowe, and covered brilliantly by Elvis Costello and The Attractions. Also loved when this song and EC's version was featured in the promotional preview of Sofia Coppola's film Lost in Translation.
love wee Elvis! 🤓
One of the best songs from the New Wave era IMO. Sounds as good today as it did in the late 70s.
Such a great song!😀😀😀😀
Jesus is love peace and understanding
As I walk through
His antics in the video sounds quite wierd and funny to this day 🤗😊
How great is/was this band....
Timeless, Ageless Klassik Song...." Peace, Love , and Understanding"
Cool to see the Stanley Park totem poles in a video!
Come from the Marvellous Mrs. Maisel
Happy anniversary to Armed Forces (1/5/79) <3
What indeed
🦋👆🏽🙏🕊🤠
I'm amazed and saddened that there are 196 people who disliked this enough to downvote it. Love this song.
12-28-19 6:52am this song going out into the Universe to my mother who passed last year she raised me to be a peaceful man feeling a lil crushed she's gone she was a good person 💔 😢 🌹 I'll continue her good work ...
I'd never seen this before. I remember playing around those totem poles when I was a kid visiting Vancouver from my home in Idaho in the late 70's.
Forty years on, we need this song (and its sexy bass line) more than ever. I've got the EP on vinyl and it still sounds so good! Love ya, EC.
My actual real life sent me here. You should get one!
Really appropriate today. #PEACE #LOVE
#UNDERSTANDING
Best part of the 1980' s
Jesus, this song is so relevant for these current times also, following a shocker of a tory landslide. This world (well, our country) is becoming more cruel and uncaring). x

Keb Mo sent me here..I suppose... but really this wonderful song did..though Legion is a killer show.
everyone here mentions Legion.. but not a single peep about 200 Cigarettes.
Legion lol
Nick Lowe , you wrote a beautiful song here ! Elvis did it justice !
Stop being blinded by political hatred. HATE is HATE. PERIOD.
some how I like the Legion version better
That opening shot looks like Vancouver. Is it? Edit: oh, absolutely, they later stand by the total poles in Stanley Park.
Elvis is King~!
I saw Elvis Costello in concert in 1982-83 in Tampa. Always loved this song. Astoundingly prescient these days. But, really, it's prescient and relevant in any and every age. (I too was reminded of this by Legion).
Same...LEGION...beautifully done show!!! I am an actor and I must say that I found this to be one of the most artistic shows I've seen.
Strange video, but love the lyrics. One-track playlist to slow down the apocalypse.
Legion!!! Best Marvel tv series!!!
as I walk through this wicked world
RIDDLE of the FaLLing Knives 🍎

When the ear and eye conjoin as one, our work has just begun?
What's so funny about a rational way of living?
Congrats on the Lifetime Achievement Americana Award, Elvis!
I still cannot listen to this song without seeing John Belushi singing it.
Colbert Christmas special.

I just watched the first chapter of the first season "Little Big Lies" and heard that song there. Suddenly I remembered those days, when I listened to Elvis Costello. Great song, even after all that decades of travelling through life and finding myself in the darkness of insanity in these days. With hope from Germany.
... likewise w hope from the USA Cheetolini has got to go!!! 🇺🇸 🇩🇪
I'm SERIOUS - can you imagine if you changed the NAME on Greek Theater billboard to read DECLAN McMANUS - you'd have a WHOLE NEW CAREER - and you could BE YOURSELF !!
