Karma, karma, come and dance with me
Read between the lies and set me free
Imagine the beginning of the end
And we don′t need to ever talk again
We don't need your way out
We don′t need your way out
We don't need your way out
Words cut but I don't care how much it hurts
Shades for the blind
Can′t hear your empty words
We don′t need no
We don't need no

Mother Mary try to keep it real
Save your prayers for peace and let us heal

We don′t need your way out
We don't need your way out
We don′t need your way out

She urges them to stop hiding behind false words and finally take action to make a positive change in the world. The lyrics "karma, karma, come and dance with me" suggest that those who do wrong will eventually face the consequences of their actions. Loreen urges listeners to read between the lies and set themselves free from the falsehoods and empty promises of those who claim to have all the answers.

Loreen urges people to stop relying on prayer and instead take action to create a better world for everyone.

Today we only have generic sounds that are made to last just some time and then completely be forgotten. So glad we still have someone creating music and who is true to herself.

David Morris

BeatrixKiddo i just hope her mediocre success with statements is not another reason for her label to delay the album release
