lyrics

Instant Karma (We All Shine On)
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 are you thinking of?
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth are you trying 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 darling
Join the human race

How in the world are you gonna see?
Laughing at fools like me
Who on earth do you think you are?
A superstar? Well alright you are!

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and sun
Well we all shine on
Everyone, come on!

Instant Karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers, sisters and others
Is everyone 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 and get your share

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and sun
Well we all shine on
Everyone, come on!

Yeah, yeah, alright, uh huh, ahh

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