Karma police
arrest this man
he talks in maths
he buzzes like a fridge
he's like a detuned radio
Karma police
arrest this girl
her Hitler hairdo
is making me feel ill
and we have crashed her party
This is what you get (X2)
This is what you get when you mess with us
Karma police
I've given all I can
It's not enough
I've given all I can
but we're still in the payroll
This is what you get (X2)
This is what you get when you mess with us
Phew for a minute there I lost myself

Song Info:
"It was a band catchphrase for a while on tour - whenever someone was behaving in a particularly shitty way, we'd say, 'The karma police will catch up with him sooner or later,'" says Jonny. "It's not a revenge thing, just about being happy with your own behaviour." Thom laughs, "This is a song against bosses, fuck middle management!" "Karma Police" was debuted back in 1996 durning the Alanis Morissette tour. Thom sang the line "This is what you'll get" an octave higher than he does on the album, with brillant results. Ed was the one who originally suggested they do a song based on the catch-phrase.
