Victim of Circumstance

The police were waitin' when the sun came up

You better move your ass or we'll really get rough

I never wanted trouble but I sure got enough

I'm bad at bein' subtle but I ain't that tough, no

(Just a victim of circumstance)

Didn't you know?

(Just a victim of circumstance)

Doesn't it show?

(I'm just a victim of circumstance)

Wherever I go

Just a victim of a bad reputation

I got no chance of shakin'

Really gets you down when you don't belong

And everyone around says you growed up wrong

But why do they resent it? I ain't doin' anything

They say that I'm demented and I never could sing

Then everywhere I went I caused them such alarm

You know I never meant to cause anybody harm, no

(Just a victim of circumstance)

Didn't you know?

(Just a victim of circumstance)

Doesn't it show?

(I'm just a victim of circumstance)

Wherever I go

Just a victim of a bad reputation

I got no chance of shakin'[Bridge]

I've been laughed at

I've been shut out

But let there be no doubt

Never been afraid of chances I been takin'

The police are waitin' when the sun came up

You better move your ass or we'll really get rough

I never wanted trouble but I sure get enough

I'm bad at bein' subtle but I ain't that tough, no

(Just a victim of circumstance)

Didn't you know?

(Just a victim of circumstance)

Doesn't it show?

(I'm just a victim of circumstance)

Wherever I go

Just a victim of a bad reputation

I got no chance of shakin', yeah
