Lyrics for Song: Instant Karma
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - The Beatles



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 on earth 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.


Instant Karma

Released as a single in 1969, 'Instant Karma' stands as a pivotal moment in The Beatles' final years, marking a distinct shift toward socially conscious themes. Composed primarily by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney, the track explores the immediate consequences of good and bad deeds, reflecting the group's engagement with civil rights and peace movements during the late 1960s. The song features a distinctive arrangement that blends traditional pop structures with elements of folk and rock, driven by an acoustic guitar foundation and a driving bassline. Its inclusion on the 'Past Masters' compilation highlights its enduring status within the band's discography. The recording captures the band's evolving sound, moving away from their earlier psychedelic experimentation toward a more direct, message-oriented approach that resonated deeply with audiences worldwide.
