Victim of Circumstance

In a perfect world, I my friend would be an angel to die for.

In a perfect world, I my friend would spill my seed in

whatever got my fancy. In a perfect world I my friend

wouldn’t need to do what I do to feed your frenzy. In a perfect

world there would be no frenzy to stir the vicar’s passions,

holding out on rations, holding out on fashions.

Now take me to your war, open up your door

Sons and daughters, crying out for mercy.

So what’s your poison boys and girls. Oh brothers and sisters,

what’s your high, whatever is your fancy.

Out on the streets, only rabies and crazy’s where I hang,

no daisies where I venture

It ain’t no adventure this crazy crazy world I suffer for.

My world, it’s all fucked up, it’s all fucked up.

No where to run and hide, no one to side with so I lied to fit in.

No way to get out off this fucking mess I’m in as I’m just a victim

Just a victim, I’m just a victim of circumstance,

victim of circumstance

Systems letting me, letting me down.

Systems getting me wound up to turn my shit around,

but bound am I to the way things are, just like you

I’m just a victim of reality, just a victim of criminality,

working for the main man, lurking in the shadows of

the same gang. It’s my speciality, It’s in my blood,

a victim, just like you, a victim, fussed over and
sussed out to the max, victimised and brutalised like

a fucking slave, Just like you,

I gave my all to keep the machinery oiled,

but now my rage is boiling over as now I can see,

I’m just a victim, just a victim, I’m just a victim of circumstance,

a victim of circumstance.

I’m just a victim of circumstance, just like you

Do you know where I’ve been, do you even care, do you know

who I’ve seen, do you even care, do you know who I am,

do you even care, do you know  why I’m here, do you even care.

Well this is the shit that’s made me who I am
this is the shit that I know, all this time I’ve been trying to tell you,

trying to tell you. Why, why, why won’t you just leave my shit alone.

Oh why, oh why, Oh just shut the fuck up and let me sing my song,

this is the shit, this is the shit that chills me to my bones,

this is the shit that thrills me in my zone.

So why can’t ya phone me and wake my phoney arse.

For sake of a 5-0. I’ll take my labour to you, for sake of

my neighbour, I’ll make you before your very lies
Yeah, this is my world, this is my shit, it’s where I live,

it’s the shit that ties me to my zone, it’s my system.

Now take that in your sorry arse as I’m just a victim,

just a victim. I’m just a victim of circumstance.

victim of circumstance. Systems letting me,

letting me down, systems getting me wound up to

turn my shit around, but bound am I to the

way things are, just like you

In a perfect world, I my friend could have had it all.

In a perfect world, I my friend could have turned you

into my slave. In a perfect world, I my friend could

have been brave. Oh but why my friend do I punish

myself so, tarnish my good nature before the storm.

Oh my bleeding heart, feeding your anger,

hangers on and sleaze bags and easy pleasers,

they all want a piece of me, they all want a piece of you.

Yeah you better believe, you’re a victim just like me,

caught in the middle of a bad dream, ridiculed as I fought

to repair my sad state of affairs. Yeah,

we can all fuck with the system and show em boys and girls

how to save the day, going beyond the pale as we bathe

in the glory of our failings, sailing away to nowhere.

No way a victim, FUCK with the system,

no way a victim, FUCK with the system.

Does it even matter anymore when all I can see is your

face in my space, does it even matter anymore when

it ain’t even safe as once a victim, always a victim,

caught in the middle of a sad dream. I fought the

system but the system let me down, I would have

rort the system if I knew how.

So a victim just like you, so a victim just like you.

The system gets me down, the system never comes

to my party, so sound the battle cry to vase city lakes.

FUCK this shit cause it ain’t gonna change a thing

as I’m just a victim, just a victim.

I’m just a victim of circumstance,

victim of circumstance.

Systems letting me, letting me down.

Systems getting me wound up to turn my shit around,

but bound am I to the way things are,

and just like so fucking fucked up you
