Victims Of Circumstance Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

Saw the paper the other day 

Started to read 

Seems they've got a new way 

Of fighting all their wars 

Just what we need 

When will you stop playing all your games? 

Won't you listen when we say 

I don't remember anyone asking me about it 

Or don't we matter anyway? 

Victims of circumstance, that's what we are 

Hidden from light so we can't see 

Victims of circumstance, that's what we are 

You and me, you and me 

Those mistakes that you 

All made in the past 

You never seem to see 

Do you have to bring your 

Ships across the water? 

Please let us be 

Master, master, I really want to live 

Do we always have to plead? 

Looks like you've put us in 

The front line once again 

Won't you stop this insanity? 

Victims of circumstance, that's what we are 

Hidden from light so we can't see 

Victims of circumstance, that's what we are 

You and me, you and me
