lyrics

He’s innocent. He’s innocent.
I swear ta God he’s innocent.

I’M SURE YOU CARE

Karma will have you...

I’m sure you care
I’m sure you think everything’s alright
Even though you see your whole world crumble
You wrote us off the day we asked ya for a bite
You watched us rot and take the tumble

Well you were never one for tears
Only catalyst for fears and controlling everyone
Yeah you could send us up to space
With a lie so deeply laced with hopes and dreams
we carried as if we took the plunge and married

Well don’t be afraid of thunder
No, it’s not a sign
It’s just the sound of a rifle
And don’t be afraid to wonder
Who’s behind your back
Karma will have you

The spell you cast
The spell you’ve woven in our souls
have kept us medicated zombies
We got no freedom
Every move is on parole
We just eat the shit you’re serving

Someday you’ll slip, you’ll miss a beat
and you’ll lose a blink and in that time
we’ll be good to go
We’ll make a move so quick
you’ll never know what hit
But when it does they’ll be no words forgiven
You’ll be among the living
So don’t be afraid of thunder
No, it’s not a sign
It’s just the sound of a rifle
Don’t be afraid to wonder
Who’s behind your back
This karma will stab you

Don’t be afraid of thunder
No, it’s not a sign
It’s just the sound of a rifle
Don’t be afraid to wonder
Who’s behind your back
Karma will have you

Gonna have a heart attack!
Gonna getcha in your back
When you least expect it
You will be infected
And the “only One” will save you

I know nobody cares and that’s the way it is
And it will always be like that I’m sure you know
But precious gifts they come in threes
And behind your eyes you’ll see that everyone still hates you
Until they masturbate you out
Out! Oh No!

Don’t be afraid of thunder
No, it’s not a sign
It’s just the sound of a rifle
Don’t be afraid to wonder
Who’s behind your back
Karma will have you

Don’t be afraid of thunder
No, it’s not a sign
It’s just the sound of a rifle
Don’t be afraid to wonder
Who’s behind your back
Karma will have you
