This is my 100th submission for I Heart Songwriting Club.  It's a somewhat angry song about incidents from my high school days.  Life in general is full of ups and downs, perhaps none more so when you're trying to juggle education with a social life and fitting in with others.  As if these things weren't hard enough for me back then, without having someone constantly badgering me and trying all they can to exclude me from their group!  This ordeal only lasted one year, and then things were pretty much back to normal for the remaining years of high school.  All this stuff was never spoken of again, much to my relief.  I always wondered why it happened though, and I never did find out the reason for that.  I suppose at the end of the day, these incidents are more a reflection on this person than myself.  If anything, they helped me to grow and have a better understanding of the world around me.  As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!


CHORUS
Karma is a bitch
I want my revenge
You will pay for what you did to me

Robbed me of my confidence
You'll get your comeuppance
And will never walk away scot-free


VERSE 1
You said I needed new friends
When the ones I had were fine
You were so consumed with jealousy

But I had the last laugh
When the others had my back
In the end you wished that you were me

You were always envious
Of how they all liked me
So you said the opposite was true

But they all stood by me
We are never backing down
Then you were made to look like a fool


CHORUS
Karma is a bitch
I want my revenge
You will pay for what you did to me

Robbed me of my confidence
You'll get your comeuppance
And will never walk away scot-free


VERSE 2
So why did you do it
I wish you would answer me
So that I can finally know the truth

But that will never happen
Because you've gone away
At least we won't be fighting nail and tooth

We had always got along
Except for that one year
When you tried to make my school life hell

But i rose above it all
And showed a lot of strength
I wonder why you didn't get expelled


CHORUS
Karma is a bitch
I want my revenge
You will pay for what you did to me

Robbed me of my confidence
You'll get your comeuppance
And will never walk away scot-free

Karma Is A Bitch

Protis has been writing music since 1998, when he was still in high school. The name Protis came about from watching the TV show Pokemon; his original name was Piggy, and just how Pikachu evolves into Raichu, well he decided that Piggy would evolve into Protis. The name has stuck ever since then.

Protis is a big fan of computer-based music.  The first computer program he used for music purposes was Cubase Lite on good ol' Windows 3.1 operating system.  Over the years he moved on to Cubast VST, where he further developed his skills as a songwriter.  Most of his early recordings were instrumental works, as at the time he was unable to compose decent lyrics.

After a while, Protis decided to leave the realm of General MIDI and progress into the world of loops and samples.  He accomplished this by using the ACID range of products.  Countless hours were spent with this brilliant piece of software, coming up with lots of cool beats.

Protis has also dabbled in the FruityLoops software, now called FL Studio.  He utilised FL Studio to write songs which contained his first self-penned lyrics.  He was surprised at just how well his lyrics came across in each song, fitting in well with the music.  And all this from someone who could never write words to his songs!
