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 whiskey 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
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

My liver´s shrivelling like a leaf
But it´s not the whiskey that doo´s it

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
