U2 – Instant Karma lyrics
Instant karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty 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?
It's up to you, yeah you

Instant karma's gonna get you
Gonna get you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race

How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me?
What on earth you think you are?
A super star? Well, right you are!

We all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
We all shine on
On and on and on!

Instant karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Everyone that you meet

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

We all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
We all shine on
On and on and on and on

We all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on and on!

Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Come on and on and on and on!
