Karma
when someone crosses the line
between decency and the obscene
if they don’t make amends for their transgressions
they’ll have to pay another way
it may not be immediately
it may take years to set things right
eventually, I’ll come a knockin’
Karma is my name, and I always get my say
you wanted to date that girl from work
and went about it in all the wrong ways
instead of interest all you did was give her the creeps
something needs to be done
your actions were flawed
they nearly cost you your job
tears and shame were simply not enough
I need to teach you a lesson, son
you paid a price, but it came up short
your penance was too little too late
life-balance has been altered
don’t worry, Karma knows what to do
I’ll find a way to make you suffer
fair or not, I do not care
the time has come to right the wrong
like John Rambo, I’m comin’ to get you!
a bit of time has elapsed
and you were keeping your nose clean
life was getting back to normal again
but Karma’s getting hungry to collect your debt
you met a girl and became her friend
the two of you were having such a good time
Cupid’s arrow pierced your heart something awful
is this the right time for me, HA HA, you bet!
you might have thought you got off scot-free
but Karma has other things in mind
I’ll smash your heart into tiny pieces
and simply blow the dust away
this is the penalty for the wrongs you’ve done
excessive it may seem to many
in Karma’s mind, balance is restored
there’s nothing more that I have to say
you paid a heavy price for your error
but you’ve begun to right your ship
I think my message was loud and clear
Karma won’t need to pay you another visit
but, low and behold, you’ve gone astray again
when are you ever going to learn
I guess you liked the punishment before
I’m really getting tired of your shit!
another girl has entered your life
this one became a little more than your friend
but you came up short on that fateful night
you simply couldn’t seal the deal
she found someone else and you saw nothing but green
you pushed her away with your jealousy and hatred
she wasn’t having your shit and put you in your place
now you’re left looking like a pathetic heel
you paid a price, but it came up short
your penance was too little too late
life-balance has been altered
don’t worry, Karma knows what to do
I’ll find a way to make you suffer
fair or not, I do not care
the time has come to right the wrong
like John Rambo, I’m comin’ to get you!
I’m gonna fix you once and for all
and make damn sure you don’t stray any further
my next course of action may seem quite extreme
but it’s the only way that Karma can fight
you started to reconcile with your friend once more
but by this time my plan was in motion
she came by your place for her things
then you ushered her out into her plight
she went out for a drive with her man
but was halted dead in her tracks
that truck could never stop in time
even with the brake pedal pressed into the floor
an innocent should not have to die
to settle a debt that you have accrued
but drastic times call for drastic measures
I have to shock you to your core
your penance will last forever this time
now you’ll suffer agony and anguish
every time that you think of this girl
an eternity of suffering is what you are due
this is the penalty for the wrongs you’ve done
excessive it may seem to many
in Karma’s mind, balance is restored
there’s nothing more that I can do
why did this happen to me
what have I done to deserve this
first my heart was shattered
now my soul has been gutted
I’m sorry for everything
what can I do to atone
I can’t stand to bear this pain any longer
I just want to end it all
the loss of my angel was far too much
I don’t think I want to live
life is too difficult to continue
there is nothing more I can give
when someone crosses the line
between decency and the obscene
if they don’t make amends for their transgressions
they’ll have to pay another way
it may not be immediately
it may take years to set things right
eventually, I’ll come a knockin’
Karma is my name, and I always get my say
