Victim Of Circumstance

(joan jett/kenny laguna)



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'
