Cold and walking on their heads
Washing hands in tears they shed
As a child is born to a brand new day
Wars are lost and won

As the city sleeps
The dirty deeds are laid
And every time that you think
You're right you're wrong

Now it won't be long
'Til the voice of truth has had its say
And it won't be long
'Til everything that's owed is all repaid

Losing faith in honesty
Bathing in our sympathy
Well the child is torn to another way
He's speaking with a gun

Now the city weeps
The dirty deeds were played
And every time that he thinks
He's right he's wrong

Now it won't be long
'Til the voice of truth has had its say
And it won't be long
'Til everything that's owed is all repaid
Now it won't be long
'Til karma comes around again
Around again, my friend

[solo]

As the raven screams
You'll never see the dawn
You look around
And everything you had is gone

Now it won't be long
'Til the voice of truth has had its say
And it won't be long
'Til everything that's owed is all repaid

Now it won't be long
'Til the wrath of truth has had its day
Yeah it won't be long
'Til karma comes around again, my friend

Round and round and round [repeat]
