Victim Of Circumstance Lyrics - I Love Rock 'n Roll - Joan Jett

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'
