Video hit Radiohead

Radiohead - Karma Police 

This song is about fate and how it will always catch up with you. The theme of the song is portrayed very well in the video where a man is chased by a car which is then set on fire by the man. (thanks, Craig - Blairgowrie, Scotland)

Thom Yorke: "Karma is important. The idea that something like karma exists makes me happy. It makes me smile. Karma Police is dedicated to everyone who works for a big firm. It's a song against bosses." 

While shooting the video, Yorke almost died of carbon monoxide poisoning from the car he was sitting in.

Ed O'Brien, who supplied the closing wall of feedback said in an interview in Humo magazine: "When someone in the band behaved like an a--hole, one of the others always said: 'The Karma Police is gonna get you.' I suppose it's all rubbish that your destiny depends on your deeds in a previous life, but you have to trust on something."

The lyrics:

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

This is what you'll get

This is what you'll get

This is what you'll get

When you mess with us

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

This is what you'll get

This is what you'll get

This is what you'll get

When you mess with us

For a minute there

I lost myself, I lost myself

Phew, for a minute there

I lost myself, I lost myself

For a minute there

I lost myself, I lost myself

Phew, for a minute there

I lost myself, I lost myself
