Karma Is Dead
LYRICS
Let me ask you brother, do you know what it's like When everybody's driving monster trucks and you're riding a bike Did you ever get the feeling, you're swimming against the tide And everybody else is just enjoying the ride
Let me tell you brother, well Karma is dead If it ever was alive, so get it out of your head
And you know it doesn't matter, because anything you do Doesn't tally anywhere, it's only for you There's no soul currency, sitting in a vault For you to draw down every time you're at fault Bad deeds don't get punished, there's no reward for good No scheming calculations, running under the hood No pearly gates of judgement, no final bill to pay So if you wanna do something, do it anyway
Sister can't you see it? Life just isn't fair Until you understand that, you can't go anywhere Did you ever ask yourself why things were happening to you Don't you know that all those things happen to me too
Let me tell you sister, well Karma is dead If it ever was alive, so get it out of your head
And you know it doesn't matter, because anything you do Doesn't tally anywhere, it's only for you There's no soul currency, sitting in a vault For you to draw down every time you're at fault Bad deeds don't get punished, there's no reward for good No scheming calculations, running under the hood No pearly gates of judgement, no final bill to pay So if you wanna do something, do it anyway
Leaders are you leading, or sleeping at the wheel? Tripping on the workers crushed under your heel Did you ever stop to wonder just what side you're on I guess when you're winning it's hard to think you're wrong
And you know it doesn't matter, because anything you do Doesn't tally anywhere, it's only for you There's no soul currency, sitting in a vault For you to draw down every time you're at fault Bad deeds don't get punished, there's no reward for good No scheming calculations, running under the hood No pearly gates of judgement, no final bill to pay So if you wanna do something, do it anyway
Don't give me your prejudices, I've got my own My god! You're like a dog with a bone! Don't you drag me down with you, give me a break My god! Is there anything you won't take?
I used to think that things had to be done in the right way But now I just do whatever gets me through the day You say I'm sacrificing the things that made me me Let me tell you darling that's the way it's got to be
I'm looking in the mirror, I see karma is dead If it ever was alive, even just in my head
