Everybody`s A Victim — текст песни (The Proclaimers)

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
