You set your feet upon this path

But they’re stuck in a cyclical rut

Notice how they keep coming ‘round

To kick you in the butt?

Don’t ever think you got away

Because you’ve not been caught

You have to know that you must pay

For the damage that you’ve wrought

For every action, consequence

For each sin we must atone

And we will always have to reap

Everything that we have sown

I’m not quite sure why you’re surprised

(Karma is a bitch!)

Did you not know you risk a fall

Each time you dig a ditch?

You set out to do evil

And with evil you’ll be repaid

For all the ugly things you’ve done

I’d say that’s a fair trade

So keep in mind the things I’ve said

When you want to tempt your fate

Remember God don’t like ugly

You’ll get what’s coming; just wait
