Victim Of Circumstance

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts


(Joan Jett / Kenny Laguna)

J: The police were waitin when the sun came up
You better move your ass or well really get rough
I never wanted trouble but I sure got enough
Im bad at bein subtle but I aint that tough, no

K: Just a victim of circumstance
J: Didnt you know
K: Just a victim of circumstance
J: Doesnt it show
K: Im just a victim of circumstance
J: Wherever I go
K: Just a victim of bad reputation
K/J: I go no chance of shakin'

J: Really gets you down when you dont belong
An everyone around says you growed up wrong
But why do they resent it, I aint doin anything
They say that Im 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

K: Just a victim of circumstance
J: Didnt you know
K: Just a victim of circumstance
J: Doesnt it show
K: Im just a victim of circumstance
J: Wherever I go
K: Just a victim of bad reputation
K/J: I go no chance of shakin'

Ive been laughed at, Ive been shut out
But let there be no doubt
Never been afraid of chances I been takin'

J: The police are waitin when the sun came up
You better move your ass
Or well really get rough
I never wanted trouble
But I sure get enough
Im bad at bein subtle
But I aint that tough, no

K: Just a victim of circumstance
J: Didnt you know
K: Just a victim of circumstance
J: Doesnt it show
K: Im just a victim of circumstance
J: Wherever I go
K: Just a victim of bad reputation
K/J: I go no chance of shakin'
