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 try'na do?

It's up to you

Yeah, you

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna knock you right in the face

You better get yourself together, darling

Join the human race

How in the world you gonna see?

Laughing at fools like me

Who on Earth d'you think you are?

A superstar?

Well, right you are

And we all shine on

Like the Moon and the stars and the Sun

Well, we all shine on

Everyone, c'mon

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna knock you off your feet

Better recognise your brothers

Everyone 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

Yeah, we all shine on

C'mon and on and on, on, on

Yeah, yeah

Alright

Well, we all shine on

Like the Moon and the stars and the Sun

Yeah, we all shine on

On and on and on, on and on

And we all shine on

Like the Moon and the stars and the Sun

Well, we all shine on

Like the Moon and the stars and the Sun

Yeah, we all shine on

Like the Moon and the stars and the Sun

Yeah, we all shine on

Like the Moon and the stars and the Sun

Yeah, we all shine on

Like the Moon and the stars and the Sun

(And we all shine on)

(Like the Moon and the stars and the Sun)
