Elvis Costello - Peace, Love and Understanding (Live on the Letterman Show)

(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding (1974) is written by Nick Lowe and made popular by Elvis Costello.

The lyrics clearly shows the main theme in the current Western culture: that Dynamic concepts like Peace, Love and Understanding cannot be understood in a concrete manner.

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 slipping away, just makes me wanna cry,
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?
