Word repeated in a Culture Club song (5)

I believe the answer is:

karma

(Other definitions for karma that I've seen before include "Moral quality determining future life (Hinduism)" , "Buddhist concept of inevitable consequence" , "Hindu principle determining fate in re-incarnation" , "Destiny (good or bad!)" , "In Buddhism, the sum of a person's existence - determines future" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
