Karma's Payment Lyrics
I am not who I want to be
I probably will not ever be
I drove my car June 14th
I drove it right down the street
I had not had any sleep
So I ate Minithins to stay awake
You crashed your car right into me
There was two days I didn't sleep
Uh oh, down low
I am not who I want to be
I probably will not ever be
I took a trip down to California
Karma payment plan
My car broke down out in the street
The radiator sprung a leak
I met this guy, he said he could help me
I'm on the karma payment plan
We went to his house and did some speed
He said karma would pay for this deed
He got it fixed and he started to scare me
I ditched him eventually
And came back for the car
The next morning
I'm on the karma payment plan
I went to LA the next day I got
Jacked in a real bad way
I can't tell you
It's a long story
..."I am not who I want to be...I probably will not ever be..." I can really relate to those lines...This song is about always doing what you feel is right the right thing to do...if you don't, it'll eventually catch up to you.
Sometimes you have to look at a song for what it is. A nice guy helped him and he took advantage of him.. so the next day he got jacked in a bad way.
He did evil and it came back to him... hmmm Karma?
Geezus, this song is one of the best. I've always been a fan of Modest Mouse, but I really like the lyrics in this one. =D Quite good.
What on earth is a minithin, is it a drug or a cracker?
Its like a diet pill that has caffine for energy
Its like a diet pill that has caffine for energy
Maybe they have caffeine these days, but back in my day they had pseudoephedrine as the active ingredient -- aka a major component of crystal meth. They used to call it trucker's speed because it was sold at gas stations and truck stops.

This song is about how he continues to do wrong after he even knows hes doing wrong and he just keeps going, so much damn bad karma that hes gonna have to have a payment plan later on in life to get it back to good.
colin?
karma is getting good when you do good, and getting evil when you do evil....
the author self-corrects his problem life (car getting hit, breaking down, getting jacked) by using drugs (speed, minthins)
you do evil, evil comes back around
There is no such thing as good Karma you want your Karma to be at 0 (if you were to measure it) when you die so you are reincarnated into a better life. If you do bad you gain Karma thats not good so you must do good in order to bring it back down. Just saying.

Have you ever listened to this song after about 8 mini-thins? Play with your hair after about an hour after taking them, put on this song and feel your hair grow to the music.
Hahaha! THIS GUY IS FUCKED
Hahaha! THIS GUY IS FUCKED
I think its about a low point in the writers life and these are things that happend in that time. They have goodtimes in waves ups and downs like anyone else and we all have to have bad periods in order to have good ones. They pay in their Karma.
this was the first modest mouse song i ever heard it is great
