[Tense Instrumental intro - Spoken Word] You know these woods, huh? You sure, bout that? Round here, these woods know secrets... I'm sure you heard that term, the circle of life, huh? These woods'l teach ya bout the Circle Of Strife. It ain't just dog eat dog, out here. Even the trees can git ya... if'n you don't know... Karma... [Verse] A dirty man named Stan Peddled scams from a smelly van He schemed like scum And chewed like gum Any Woman, child, or man Til one day a bright fair dame Peeped the games that Stanley played She can bait a line Has a devious mind His games with matches ended in flames [Build] She knew a queen from New Jersey Who taught her things from which most flee How to be a spider When to use a lighter But she never taught the rule of three [Bridge] Karma comes up drumming drama Thunder clapping pre-madonnas Suck me sideways Six ways to Sunday Send ya cryin' back to mama [Chorus] It's a vicious circle Full of teeth When you live Full of deceit When dog eats dog Your bound to reap What life you lived Before karma's reach [Instrumental] [Verse] A skinny kid named Ben Loved his kin more than his skin He learned of Stan Who now fed plants And it made him madder than he'd ever been Game of thrones? Nah, game of phones Forty clones of inbred gnomes Boys from the sticks With stones and bricks Who love the sounds of broken bones [Build] They found that girl from Jersey It was ugly, there was no hurry They bound her like a spider And then they flicked a lighter One more execution from the judge and jury [Bridge - Stomp Clap] Karma comes up drumming drama Thunder clapping pre-madonnas Suck me sideways Six ways to Sunday Send ya cryin' back to mama [Chorus - Tom Rhythm Fills - Banjo Boogie] It's a vicious circle Full of teeth When you live Full of deceit When dog eats dog Your bound to reap What life you lived Before karma's reach [Bass Solo] [Verse] The Dame became deeply enraged Engraved each face she saw through flame With gritted teeth She uttered please And staged one final game Them boys arrived three cars times five Guys with bats and masks and knives And clubs and tape To seal a fate No one wants to end their lives [Build - Guitar & Banjo Flirtatious duet] But for that crime in Jersey? She'd have to exe-execute the Jury One by one they all entered She chuckled and surrendered In seconds they'd all be burning [Bridge - Lingering Backup Vocals] Karma comes up drumming drama Thunder clapping pre-madonnas Suck me sideways Six ways to Sunday Send ya cryin' back to mama [Final Chorus] It's a vicious circle Full of teeth When you live Full of deceit When dog eats dog Your bound to reap What life you lived Before karma's reach [Post-Chorus] Karma comes Fer Everyone, son Karma, Karma Karma's never outrun Oh yeah, she's one awnry critter, son... [Wailing Guitar Solo] [Instrumental] [Outro - Banjo Runs] You sure you belong in this neck of the woods? Are ya? Really, now? Aight... I reckon... Watch out fer them trees, fella... [End]
