Instant Karma!

[H2O Man]

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
yeh, you

Instant Karma's gonna get you
gonna look you right in the face
You 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 alright 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'a gonna get you
gonna knock you off your feet
better recognize 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 everywher
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on
like the moon and the stars
and the sun
Well we all shine on
Come on and on and on and on
Yeah yeah, alright, ah ha!

--John Lennon

1. Imagine, all the Karma...

The universe is beautiful in its synchronocity! :P

honest, I can spell, really I can...

[seemslikeadream]

And what you do will comeback on you

The state of union


The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should
And I know all the things you hide
Even though it's a good disguise
And we see all the things you do
And what you do will comeback on you
You think we can't fight what the eyes can't see
Because we are blinded by poverty

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

It's like the people you want them to rebel
And fire gunshots and burn buildings to hell
And after that you a go want treat me well
It's like you have the people under a spell
Talking to the people in a congress
A we vote you in, so you must put out your best
After all we no in a contest
It's the state of the union address

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

Broadcasting lies on the television sreen
Trying to get us hooked on your american dream
We up on your games if you know wha me mean
When you cheated on your wife with your money and your schemes
People rule and a that you fi follow
We and nuh no call me no nigga
Do a good term and you deserve another
Signed musically yours, the general sleepywonder

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

2. My favorite Lennon fan, the Wayward Daughter, observes Karma is working

faster than usual of late. She sees it in the national arena and remarks on it happening almost daily at the office.

Maybe the forces of good got their second wind and are coming out swinging.

Shall we ask Martha to call Cat Slayer Frist with some tips for cell spruce-up? Shall we have her knit a bunk coverlet for Scooter and the Dick? Can she give lessons in deportment to Bolton?

Yeah, Instant Karma is coming around....

I remember the flowers at Martha Mitchell's funeral, the ones festooned with a ribbon boasting that "Martha Was Right". Always liked to think Lennon sent those flowers. Hope his shade is amused now too.

[Me.]

6. Martha Was Right

You think this latest incarnation of the Nixon crew would have learned. But noooooo, they just keep coming back like cockroaches. I am amused that their extermination is now lethal to them and their karma is starting to knock them off their feet.

3. Someone Call Me???

:rofl:

:hi:

I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
Money for dope
Money for rope

I’m sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama’s little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now

I’ve had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
It’s money for dope
Money for rope

Ah, I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

- John Winston Lennon (1971) -

Black Eyed Peas Lyrics

Where Is The Love? Lyrics



What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)

7. A quote:

(Please read to the tune of "With A Little Help From My Friends"!)

"Apparently, according to two journalist sources of mine, when Rove learned that he might have violated the law, he turned on Cheney and Libby and made it clear that he held them responsible for the problem they had created for the administration. The protracted silence on this topic from the White House masks considerable tension between the Office of the President and the Office of the Vice President."
--Joseph Wilson; The Politics of Truth; page 444

As we ponder the new spirit of cooperation that is moving Judith Miller and Larry Franklin to cooperate in the investigations into the criminal conspiracies in which they played part, keep this in mind: just as in the Wategate era, the defense attorneys involved are telling all of these people to take all the steps necessary to protect hemselves.

"Scooter" Libby knows he is being set-up now to take the fall. His attorney is making clear that "Scooter" released Judith a year ago, and that her chatty nature isn't due to Scooter changing his position.

Now, Scooter has always thought of himself as a James Bond-type of guy. He does some silly imitations of G Gordon Liddy. But, the question arises, is Scooter going to be man enough to keep his big mouth shut, and go to prison? A few of those Nixon boys were promised pardons that never came. Scooter knows that. He knows Karl Rove hates him. Hates him, I say. ("All You Need Is ...")

Showtime.

8. Butter? Salt? Brewskie? Or shall we go for the bubbley stuff?

9. Even sending old

Bill Bennett out to serve as a lighteng rod isn't taking the attention off the administration. I'm wondering what they will do next?

11. *LOL* the tune works perfectly!!!

:rofl:

[FranzFerdinand]

10. Karma Police

Karma police, arrest this man, he talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge, he’s like a detuned radio
Karma police, arrest this girl, her hitler hairdo, is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party
This is what you get, this is what you get
This is what you get, when you mess with us

Karma police, I’ve given all I can, it’s not enough
I’ve given all I can, but we’re still on the payroll
This is what you get, this is what you get
This is what you get, when you mess with us
And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

[Hidden Stillness]

12. "Woman is the Nigger of the World"

Woman is the Nigger of the World
John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down, we pretend that she's above us
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeah...better scream about it
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah...alright...hit it!
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...if you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is...if you believe me, you better scream about it
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
