Just felt like listening to this today.............

INSTANT KARMA
(John Lennon)

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 look 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
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone 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 ev'rywhere
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
On and on and on on and on

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
~!~ Peace ~!~ Love ~!~ Pearl Jam ~!~

    By far my favorite Lennon song. Thanks for posting this.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
  • mmmm hmmmm i think ill listen to it now
    dream like your living forever
    live like your dying today
  • i absolutely love this song! :D
    im not a HUGE u2 fan, but i like them alright and i saw them cover this. they actually did a really good job.
  • I love this song too. I've been listening to 'Shaved Fish' for the last few months.
    Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?
  • I cannot believe someone posted this song.

    A bunch of us were singing this song on Sat. when this little diddy took place:

    My friend and I went to stand in line at 5:00am for the Jack Johnson/ Ben Harper show. Tickets went on sale at 9:00am

    This guy showed up after me...... this older guy. You know, we were all sitting in our chairs and we knew who was in what order but we were just sitting there talking. It kind of looked like he was trying to weasel his way in front of me.
    He knew the guy who was first in line.
    I was 4th in line..... the older guy 5th.

    Anyway ...... about a hour before tickets went on sale these 3 snotty little girls (high school age) came up like they were all the shit.
    They walk up, hug the guy first in line and are talking with the older guy.
    You all would have wanted to slap them
    They totally thought they were the shit.

    I looked at my friend like ..... 'are they going to cut?'

    The guy behind us goes up to them and said "are you ladies buying tickets, cuz there are people who have been here since 4 and 5 am."
    They looked at him all snotty and the older guy goes "they cannot buy tickets, this is my daughter and Im buying the tickets"

    Well ..... they stayed up front there and when the windows opened they cut in front and were all "c'mon Dad" and the older guy walked up.

    So basically cut in front of me and the other ladies in front of me.

    I ended up at the window next to him and I could kind of hear commotion.

    Anyway ... I ended up in Row A (front row center) and he and the bitches ended up in Row K
    K for Karma

    He was freaking out and saying "why did you get row A"
    I just said " I don't know, maybe cuz you got 4 tickets and I only got 2"
    What an ASS!
    HA!!!!!!!!!
