Joan Jett And The Blackhearts - Victim Of Circumstance Lyrics
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
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
(I'm just a victim of a 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
(I'm just a victim of a 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
(I'm just a victim of a bad reputation)
I go no chance of shakin'
Yeah!

"i''m demented and never could sing"....bitches whatever
Is this new wave or hard rock?

Relate to, so much.
Great song off the album along with the others great party track along with I Love Rock n Roll and You're too posessive
Her best song.
Probably my fsvorite Joan Track! and kids! she's older than your parents, and cooler than you will ever be!
Love the part at 1:26. I wish the whole song sounded like that.
"They said I'm demented and I never could sing". What else is new. Great song
Legendary A+ rating
I been laughed at! I been shut out! But let there be no doubt! Never been afraid of chances I been takin!
Love it!
A voz dessa mulher me deixa de pau duro pqp
Despite blatantly being at least 30 in the album image, I've never heard anybody quite capture the "lovable dumb teen" vibe as well as Joan did here.
She was actually in her early 20s when this was made
Is that Powerflo song?
Love this album! LOVE IT!
I love Joanie and her music...
This would have also been a good theme song for "Shameless". it totally reminds me of the Gallagher's.

but I ain't that tough
I"m bad at being suttle.

*facepalm* sounds like me honestly
Love this song have the album, cd and love em both!
This album costed me more speeding tickets than all my other shit. The reason she didnt get bigger? world wasnt ready for a woman with lyrics that made you actually think, AND could actually play a musical fucking instrument.
APIEngineering And the fact that she wasn't corporate
Good jam from back in the day. She is so hot even after all these years.
LESBIAN FOR JOAN JETT <3
Sexy Joan Jett singing another badass song!
I LOVE HER. I LOVE HER. I LOVE HER SONGS. I LOVE HER.
JUST HAD TO LET THAT OUT.
This song one of the good songs from the 80's.
I'm in love with this song.
In your face, loud, don't give a shit about tomorrow, rock. Yeah, musicians these days just need to learn from the legends.
First time i heard it it was from the second row... talk about in your face...
@jamesgonzalez1000 yea i was mad it wasnt on there
I can't stop hitting the play button!
OH FUCK YEAH
That`s Rock `n Roll !
Dude, this is friggen' awesome. I used to want to make a band and name it "Victim of Circumstance" because of the term's usage on The Three Stooges, and then I heard this song growing up and wanted to do it even more.
Too bad there's already a band under that name. This is totally the kind of music I would've been making.
of all the songs i like from joan jett....this is the best one
@lilagrace88
Oh yeah !!!! o/
this so describes me
Joan Jett still rocks, but her best years were when she was doing songs like this.
George Vreeland Hill
This song really shows how rockers are judged by their leather and denim to be these obnoxious assholes (many are) but Joan, she's one BIG exception.
TOTALLY agree JMJ!!! A song that says "It ain't my fault, but FU!!!"
Joanite ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great song, joan rocks!
I think everyone back in my day bought this album.Words ring true. Thanks for the upload.
no1 will ever replace her
owszem :D
