Songs About Karma

I don't believe in karma from a religious standpoint, but I do believe in retribution and it's clear that, for whatever reason, people often receive their just desserts. And that's fine by me. It's also fine by the tunes in this post, which are all Songs About Karma. Enjoy?  ~  JH

BLOGGER'S NOTE:  You may have often heard karma equated with a certain word which some may find offensive. You should know that this word appears in the lyrics of the 11th, 15th, 20th, and 22nd songs in this post. Just in case you wish to avoid those songs.
