When Karma Comes to Call

Executive function is simply acting in accordance with the laws of karma. Or so it seems to me at this moment.

You can cruise around your sundrenched town

With the radio up and the windows down

Run a stop light or pop a beer

Til the red lights flash in the rear view mirror.

You think you live to cross the line

Just take the ticket and pay your fine.

Cause and Effect. Laws you must respect

You can’t lock the door or build a wall

When Karma comes to call.

Since the universe began

These rules aren’t made by the hand of man.

From molecules to the galaxy

To the gravity in you and me

Sure as Newton’s apple falls

Here’s the writing on the walls.

Chorus

I have thought I was past the reach of karma’s golden crown

But you can’t cheat the dealer, or stare eternity down

It goes tap tap. Knock knock.

Ring ring.

Then it bursts the fucking lock.

You can’t walk on water but you can float across

You can build a bridge of love or loss

The dam breaks and the tide rolls in

You can call it fate or you can call it sin.

It’s not punishment or grace

Just justice with a deadpan face

Chorus
