Victim of Circumstance by Ten Years After Lyrics

This world is driving me crazy
Things goin' on make me mad
Waiting in the dole queue for money to come down
No wonder this boy turned bad
I'm gonna write my M. P
Say what the fuck's goin on
All my life I'm runnin' on empty
Watchin' everybody else have fun

I'm a victim of circumstance, a victim of circumstance
This boy never ever stood a chance, I'm a victim of circumstance
Whoa - yea !

See the big fat rich man in his Rolls - Royce;
Squeaky clean kids by his side
I get the shit, they get the chances
I get to walk, they get to ride
You know I'm your problem boy
I never even stood a chance
Pent up frustrations runnin' inside me now
I'm a victim of circumstance
I'm a victim of circumstance, a victim of circumstance
This boy never ever stood a chance, I'm a victim of circumstance, ow !

What you doin' for the workers ?
What you doin' for the unemployed ?
Keep dishin' out money for all those jerkers
Can'y say I'm over-joyed
So don't mess with my life
I've had to scrape and fight
Just give me some hope it's gonna get better
Maybe I can sleep at night

I'm a victim of circumstance, a victim of circumstance
This boy never ever stood a chance, I'm a victim of circumstance
Ow ! Victim of circumstance, victim of circumstance
This boy never ever stood a chance. Ah !
