Letra de
Instant Karma

Instant Karma! fue escrita, grabada y lanzada dentro de un periodo de diez días, demostrando la creencia de Lennon en la rapidez y espontaneidad. Se inspiró en el concepto de karma y la filosofía de acción y reacción instantáneas. La canción es notable por su mensaje universal de responsabilidad y conexión humana.

Instant karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right in the head
You better get yourself together,
Pretty soon your gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of?
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do?
Its 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?
Laughing at fools like me
Who on earth do you think you are?
A superstar?
Well right you are

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ry one, come on.

Instant karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognise your brothers
Ev'ry one 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 gonna get your share

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ry one, come on.

Yeah yeah
Alright
Ah ha,
Ah!
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ry one, come on.
