Ain't no drama like karma
a d e a  ( aretha frankin vocals)
(ain't no sunshine when he's gone chapman?)
 
ain't no drama like karma
ain't no path except dharma
ain't no way to go but tao
and the ways so fucking far, oh
ain't no drama like karma
 
an i know, an i know, an i know...
 
ain't no prayer that you can say
that i cannot also pray
ain't no prayer that you can pray
that i can't simply rephrase
and you ain't aquainted with the saints
 
ain't no hoodoo you  can do
that i can't also do to you
ain't no voodoo you can mumbo
that i can't translate the lingo
ain't no hoodoo i can't do too
 
 
ain't no god you can befriend
to whom i cannot yet ascend
ain't no deity complienty
and they'll get you in the end
ain't no buddha to offend

an i know, an i know, an i know...

 
ain't no dance that you can dance
that i can't learn in a glance
ain't no pychadelic trance
ain't no world tree to traverse
ain't no tribal ritual secret business you can prance
 
 ain't no genie you can unbottle
that i cannot simply swallow
ain't no djinn you can command
in any country or land
ain't no dybbuk likely to follow
 
ain't no fairy or fey folk
ain't no lephrechaun type blokes
ain't no rainbow pot of gold
no gaelic enchantment to unfold
murphy's just a practical joke
 
an i know, an i know, an i know...
 
ain't no idol you can create
that i cannot likewaise make
i'm so much holier than you
i can command them both too
ain't no totem made from stuff from anywhere that's enough
 
ain't no religious text you can peruse
that i can't distort misquote or abuse
ain't no holy book
though which i haven't looked
ain't no scriptures likely to excuse
 
 
ain't no hymn that you can hum
that i can't sing or drum or strum
and say in languages of angels
i can trancend spacial and spatial
ain't no psalm i ain't already sung
 
 
an i know, an i know, an i know...
 
 
an i know, an i know, an i know...
 
 
an i know, an i know, an i know...
 
i know now oh!

ain't no drama like karma
ain't no drama like karma
ain't no drama like karma
 
yeah there ain't no drama like karma
My Muse, to labour chained
demure, pure, restrained
may yet escape -
i'll grab his cape
and hitch-hike to new planes

I loved it, good use of repetition. One edit might make it come off the tongue better:

Original:
ain't no hoodoo you can do
that i can't also do to you
ain't no voodoo you can mumbo
that i can't translate the lingo
ain't no hoodoo i can't do too

Edited:
ain't no hoodoo you can do
that i can't also do to you
ain't no voodoo you can mumbo
that i can't translate the lingo
ain't no hoodoo i can't do though

It's a more similar sounding word and it makes the rhyme sound nice
