Boomerang Theory
The other night I got arrested
By the karma police and beat down
And didn't bother waiting for my receipt
Hopped on my feet and skipped town
They say, ‽What goes around comes aroundâ€
And I have found that that's real
'Cuz even with a stomach filled
With chill pills I still feel ill
The other night I got arrested by the karma coppers
Tossed in the back of sarcastic patty wagon and beaten bloody, buddy
And I didn't resist I knew I had it coming to me
I didn't get pissed when they issued the summons to me
For years and years [Incomprehensible] ignorance
The peers and peers that listened so well
And for tears and tears I tasted more than influence
I'm still here on this pier for fear of setting sail
Evidence proved I let paranoia get the best of me
I gave my girl a little and let my friends receive the rest of me
So her I am with nothing, empty pockets, twenty stock tips
A stick of gum and far too many dreams of having something
So this is for the frogs that felt the wrath of my firecrackers
And all the roaches that I stomped with no regard
And all the candy that got stolen from the corner store
I'm really sorry, being human is kind of hard
I got arrested
By the karma police and beat down
And didn't bother waiting for my receipt
Hopped on my feet and skipped town
They say, ‽What goes around comes aroundâ€
And I have found that that's real
'Cuz even with a stomach filled
With chill pills I still feel ill
Okay, okay, okay
This is what I get, I mean no disrespect but
I'll accept these charges, you can keep your plea bargains, pardon
I made this machine and every rusty cog-nance in it
And gave you the dreams just wait a cotton picking minute
The time, the time left over on my dinner plate
The crimes, the crimes committed as a youth
I'm fine, I'm fine, just let me reevaluate
I'm innocent, don't believe me? Well, here's the proof
I've been that model citizen, paper route and all
Small enough to look up skirts to tall enough to play basketball
I had to fall just to stand and realize I'm just a man
So here I am in handcuffs the shit that makes a man tough
So this is for the farmers we have mass soaked with our water guns
And all the animals that died 'cuz we were bored
Then all the girls with broken hearts I'm truly sorry
I learned my lesson, I'm confessing, hit record
I got arrested
By the karma police and beat down
And didn't bother waiting for my receipt
Hopped on my feet and skipped town
They say, ‽What goes around comes aroundâ€
And I have found that that's real
'Cuz even with a stomach filled
With chill pills I still feel ill
The other night I got arrested
By the karma police and beat down
And didn't bother waiting for my receipt
Hopped on my feet and skipped town
They say, ‽What goes around comes aroundâ€
And I have found that that's real
'Cuz even with a stomach filled
With chill pills I still feel ill
