Karma's Payment Lyrics

Cover art for Karma's Payment lyrics by Modest Mouse

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.
