The Proclaimers - Everybody's a Victim lyrics

Everybody's a victim Seems we're going that way Everybody's a victim We're becoming like the USA Everybody's a victim Seems we're going that way Everybody's a victim We're becoming like the USA I demand recompense For sitting on the fence Throughout my adult life You've got to put my parents in jail For raising me in Fife It doesn't matter what I do You have to say it's alright And I need you to send somebody around To tuck me in at night Because... Everybody's a victim Seems we're going that way Everybody's a victim We're becoming like the USA Well it's not my fault That I'm positive I just stuck a needle in my arm And nobody told me That sixty a day Would do me any harm My liver's shrivelling like a leaf But it's not the whisky that doo's it Call me irresponsible And I'm really going to lose it Because... Everybody's a victim Seems we're going that way Everybody's a victim We're becoming like the USA Wear a ribbon for this Hug a stranger for that Light a candle to the dead And soon you'll forget That you ever had A brain inside our head We value everythin the same We turn it into farce So we don't know a crisis 'Till it kicks us up the arse Because... Everybody's a victim Seems we're going that way Everybody's a victim We're becoming like the USA Everybody's a victim Seems we're going that way Everybody's a victim We're becoming like the USA Everybody's a victim Seems we're going that way Everybody's a victim We're becoming like the USA
