Lyric discussion by turantual 

Man, some of the ridiculous interpretations given here make me sick. Do people even read the lyrics before they post? Where are the moderators to put end to all this foolishness?
Sorry, for the flame everyone. I think I lost my head, but now I've come to my senses.

You might notice that the comments above are illustrative of my interpretation of Karma Police. ;-)

First the narrator of the song wishes ill on a man because the man is jabbering on about something or other. The irony is that the narrator is probably irritated because he doesn't actually understand the "maths" that man is talking about.

Then the narrator wishes ill on a woman because he doesn't like her haircut. The irony is that he's eating her food and drinking her wine at a party he wasn't even invited to.

Then he realizes how petty and ridiculous HE is being.

I think it's as simple as that.

I think you might be thinking to literal
