Instant Karma - we all shine on
Instant Karma - we all shine on
If I had to pick one song that says it all. One song that sums up everything this newsletter, blog, series of ramblings is about, then it is this song.
"Instant Karma!" (also titled "Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)") is a song by English rock musician John Lennon, released as a single on Apple Records in February 1970. The lyrics focus on a concept in which the consequences of one's actions are immediate rather than borne out over a lifetime.
“Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead”
- Hey man this is John Lennon talking not me, but I could not agree with him more. I love it!
“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”
- Again, this is John Lennnons world man, I am just living in it. But what are you thinking?
“Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on”
- We are stardust baby, Shine On!!!
“Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race”
- Being a Hater is a choice. Why not choose to lift each other up instead?
“How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are”
- You can laugh at me all you want, I can laugh at myself. Love that Superstar Line!!!
“Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share”
- Really do I have to spell it all out for you? Maybe I skipped a few lines here and there, but you get it don’t you? We all have a choice, we can choose to hate or we can choose to shine. I choose Stardust!!!
- If you still need convincing, here are all the lyrics

Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah
