Lyrics Everybody's a Victim - 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
