Victim of Circumstance Songtext

von Ten Years After

This world is driving me crazy
Things going on make me mad
Waiting in the dole queue for the money to come down
No wonder this boy turned bad

I'm gonna write my MP
Say what the Fuck's going on
All my life l'm running on empty
Just watching everybody else have fun

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

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 running inside of me now
I'm a Victim of Circumstance

What you doing for the workers
What you doing for the unemployed
Keep dishing out money for all those jerkers
Can't say I'm overjoyed
