Bad Karma
Ida Maria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You better believe in karma
Baby it's gonna sting
The wheel of life's gonna do you in
So I don't really have to do a thing
You took me outta my money
You messed up my love life and my career
You better believe in karma
Guess it's gonna start getting weird right here

[Chorus]
Bad karma (oh, yeah)
Baby that's what you got
Bad karma (oh, yeah)
Whether you believe it or not
The universe is gonna getcha
You'll be scratchin' the seven year itch
You know what I think?
Bad karma's a bitch

You better believe in Jesus
'Cause only he can save you now
Throw in a saint or two why don't ya
Three hail mary's and a hare krishna
You made me drink the kool-aid
You tricked me into thikin' that Jill means Jack
You are the fire spawn of the Devil
But even he ain't takin' you back, back, back

[Chorus]

Bad karma (oh, yeah)
Baby that's what you got
Bad karma (oh, yeah)

Whether you believe it or not
The universe is gonna getcha
You'll be scratchin' the seven year itch
That's just my opinion
Damn! bad karma's a bitch

You better believe in karma
Just look at the sorry shape you're in
There's a doll with your name and your gloomy face
And the department up doing a rush on your case
You better believe in voodoo babe
I got a long list of your sins
There's a word you may have heard of
Called payback and I'm runnin' out of pins

[Chorus]

Bad karma (oh, yeah)
Baby that's what you got
Bad karma (oh, yeah)
Whether you believe it or not
The universe is gonna getcha
You'll be scratchin' the seven year itch
You know what I think?

Life in the compressor
I don't think I've ever
Felt this paranoid, I'm
Livin' in the void.
I'm an anthropologist
Amateur psychologist plundering niche
While ordering a pizza.

What's a battle cry, if it falls on deaf ears?
What's a battle cry without the fear?

Life in the compressor
Diamonds are forever
Taking all the credit,
Stealing it from Reddit.
I'm a subordinate
Tabletop bordeom and
I'm a begginer level fidget-spinner

What's a battle cry, if it falls on deaf ears?
What's a battle cry without the fear?

Life in the compressor
VHS Forever
Puttin' all the power
In the hands of nostalgia.
I'm an exhibitionist,
History revisionist,
I'm a barista, fevers up Batista.

What's a battle cry, if it falls on deaf ears?
What's a battle cry without the fear?
