No Surprises + Karma Police

"A heart that's full up like a landfill
a job that slowly kills you
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy
bring down the government
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life
a handshake of carbon monoxide
with no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
Silence, Silence.
This is my final fit
my final bellyache
with no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises please.
Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please."

"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 get, this is what you get
this is what you 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 were still on the payroll
this is what you get, this is what you get
this is what you get, when you mess with us
and for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
and for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself"
