[Intro]
|  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |
|  |  |     |
|  |   |

[Verse]
|   |    |
Karma Police, arrest this man
|   |   |
He talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge
|    |     |
He's like a detuned radio
|  |    |

|   |   |
Karma Police, arrest this girl
|   |   |
Her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill
|   |     |
And we have crashed her party
|  |   |


[Chorus]
|    |   |
This is what you'll get
|    |   |
This is what you'll get
|    |   |
This is what you'll get
|   |   |
When you mess with us

[Verse]
|    |    |
Karma Police, I've given all I can
|   |    |
It's not enough, I've given all I can
|    |     |
But we're still on the payroll
|  |   |


[Chorus]
|    |   |
This is what you'll get
|    |   |
This is what you'll get
|    |   |
This is what you'll get
|   |   |
When you mess with us

[Bridge]
|   |    |   |   |
For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
|   |    |   |   |
For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

[Bridge]
|    |    |    |   |
For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
|   |    |    |   |
For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

[Outro]
