Instant Karma
"I wrote this in the morning, recorded it that night and released it the next week. It had to do battle with Let It Be in the American charts, and it lost. It was a nice-go-lucky song, and has the same cord sequence as All You Need Is Love." John Lennon

Instant Karma's gonna get you
gonna knock you right in 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 are you trying to do
it' up to you, yeah you.
Instant Karma's gonna get you
gonna look you right in the face.
You better get yourself together darling
join the human race.
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me.
What on earth d'you think you are, a super star.
Well alright you are.
Well we all shine on like the moon and the stars and the sun.
Well we all shine on every one come on.
Instant Karma's gonna get you
gonna knock you off your feet.
Better recognise your brothers every one 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 on get your share.
Well we all shine on like the moon and the stars and the sun.
Well we all shine on
Come on and on and on
Yeah Yeah alright ah ha.


"Sometimes you wonder, I mean really wonder. I know we make our own reality and we always have a choice, but how much is pre-ordained?"
John Lennon
