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!
