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 bad reputation
i go no chance of shakin'
really gets you down when you don't belong
an' everyone around says you growed up wrong
but why do they resent it i ain't doin' anything
they say that i'm demented an' 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 bad reputation
i go no chance of shakin'

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 bad reputation
i go no chance of shakin' yeah
