- Karma Police LyricsKarma 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 we're 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 for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
For for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
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 we're still on the payroll
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 for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
For for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

When we examine its symbolic meaning, in 'Karma Police' expressed by Radiohead, there is a very strong feeling of justice which literally speaks catching up with each and everyone in the circle of the people who hurt or disrupt the others, the arresting of these people being the 'Karma police' metaphorically. The song takes the whole scenario of somebody's actions resulting in the feeling of losing one's self for a brief moment, the impact of one's actions on their identity and conscience being the reflection. Karma police lyrics are very much about the themes of contemplation, angst, despair, social criticism and empowerment. Furthermore, the song points to the very same issues of action-reaction, identity and self-mortification and voicing discontent with the society. The lyrics to the song have quite a few adult themes and mentions that would probably not be suitable for very young children, for instance talking about a 'Hitler hairdo' and the idea of arresting people which might be regarded as a sort of violence/conflict. Nevertheless, there is no vulgarity, nudity or drug usage, which makes it suitable for PG rating.
