Bad Karma Lyrics

Was it something I did
In another life?
I try and try
But nothing comes out right
For me
Bad Karma
Killing me by degrees

I took a wrong turn
On the astral plane
Now I keep on thinkin'
My luck is gonna change
Someday
Bad Karma
It's uphill all the way

I can't run, Can't hide
Can't get away
It must be my destiny
The same thing happens to me every day

Bad Karma
Coming after me
Bad Karma
Killing me by degrees
Bad Karma
Bad Karma

It's a dog's life
And it's not my fault
Ought to hang my picture
In the All-Time Losers'
Hall of Fame
Bad Karma
It's a low-down dirty shame

I can't run, Can't hide
Can't get away
It must be my destiny
The same thing happens to me every day

Bad Karma
Coming after me
Bad Karma
Killing me by degrees
Bad Karma
Bad Karma

Awesome song. Anybody who believes in reincarnation will find this song pretty funny. I love the "All-Time Losers Hall of Fame" line. Funny as hell.

This one\'s ended up obscure, but is very catchy and the lyrics are a great example of Warren\'s humour even when he probably wasn\'t kidding about the song\'s message. \n\nAlso has the slightly odd combo of Michael Stipe and Stan Lynch singing backing vocals.
