Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you 'round 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
Yeah, you
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together, darling
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 superstar?
Well, right you are
Well, 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 recognize 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
Come and get your share
Well, we all shine on
Like the moons and the stars and the sun
Yeah, we all shine on
C'mon and on and on, on, on
Yeah, yeah
Alright
Uh-huh
Ah
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
Well, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah, we all shine on
Like the moons and the stars and the sun
Yeah, we all shine on
Like the moons and the stars and the sun
Yeah, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

I don't listen to RP to be reminded of what was once really good but is now dated. I listen to find new favourites. It has more to do w age and experience. My sense is that you are a young person and have not built up several decades of connection to songs/artists based on synaptic links. Many years from now you'll have a bright younger person telling you what you've stated to us older listeners. May you have many wonderful adventures filled w an excellent soundtrack. [ Reply ]

If you're annoyed by Bill's mix, you might try internet stations like WXPN and KEXP , both of which emphasize current and breaking artists. [ Reply ]

To this I can only note that not everyone who listens has your history with this or any piece. Over time one notices that magazines publish the same articles that they published earlier (National Geographic must hold the record for repeatedly mining the same trough). There are indeed songs played here that grate for me, but in general I manage to work past them, realizing that there are listeners who probably share some of my tastes but not all. [ Reply ]
joelbb Oct 15, 2012 - 16:13	Being a Real Old School guy, I loved John Lennon when he was part of Lennon & McCartney. But he became a pontificating, fatuous ass during his solo career. "Instant Karma" is one of the better solo tunes, but NOT as good as anything the Beatles did. [ Reply ]
Zep Sep 23, 2012 - 18:48	This song is ok - kinda of a solid 7 - but it's a real letdown after that fabulous and chilling Erik Satie piano piece, Gnossienne #1. [ Reply ]

Could not an old, potentially trend-setting classic tune become a new favorite for someone? [ Reply ]

MirageRF Aug 13, 2012 - 15:42	Sure, but I sort of like the granular, gritty sound of the all natural sing along style. There is passion and not just production. tulfan wrote: Agreed. I love the song but always felt the production left much to be desired... [ Reply ]

Too much slapback echo on the vocals and the drums. So, what I'm saying is, I think it could have been recorded better. Still gets a 7 from me due to the song itself. Well said, Straocaster (better than I could have said myself). Agreed, and similar rating for similar reasons. [ Reply ]

I thought this came out a couple of years after he passed (early 80's) since I remember borrowing the cassette tape from the library. in Feb 20, 1970 exactly, a single (i have !!!) http://www.allmusic.com/album/instant-karma-we-all-shine-on-r242310 [ Reply ]
