about

This song came from the pool of riffs and parts that I collected around my King's X song (which you can find as "Emancipate"), the chorus riff was first meant to be a bridge but then I found that it had to be a chorus. One of my favorites.

I always meant to rerecord the guitars (as they're not so tight) and the vocals: I figured it's contradictory to use the word karma since the lyrics say the exact opposite.
In the end I never did.

lyrics

Sorry to hear that this time it has struck you. It is bad, and you're on your own. After all no one saw it coming. Not me, not you, no one.

There is no reason, no explanation. Ask all you like. No reason, no explanation, just facts of life.

We go to church, pray forgiveness for our sins. Pay insurance and indulgence too. It's a funny thing how twisted things can get. Life is a bitch, and sometimes it screws you for ...

... no reason, no explanation. Ask all you like. No reason, no explanation, just facts of life.

Shut your complaining down, all this shoulda woulda song. You cannot change the past and don't know what the future holds.

There is no reason, no explanation, no giant plan. No reason, no explanation, it's only life.

I put my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make songs that no one cares about.
