Adolescents – Instant Karma lyrics
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Soon you're gonna be dead

What in the world you thinking of?
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do?
Well it's up to you, yeah you!

Instant Karma's gonna get you
It's gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race

Why the world you gonna see?
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the earth do you think you are?
A super star? Well, right you are!

And we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
And we all shine on
Everyone! Shine on!

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right off your feet
You better recognize your brother
Everyone you meet

Why in Earth are we here?
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on Earth are you there?
When you're everywhere
Come and get your share

And we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
And we all shine on
On and on and on...

Yeah yeah, alright...

And we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
And we all shine on
Everyone! Shine on!
