BJH - Sideshow
Track #1, Victims of Circumstance, 1984
[G][C][G][C]
I have [G]seen the streets and alleyways
Of a [C]million faceless towns
[Am7] The camera comes, the camera goes
[Am7]Filming our blues for the late night news
We [G]gather round [C][G]
Never [G]searching for our innocence
Our [C]faith, our truth, our love
[Am7]They're only there when things go wrong
[Am7]Filming our blues for the late night news
We [G]gather round [C][G]
[C5] Show us peace and under[G5]standing [B5,A5,G5]
[C5] Brother love for fellow [G5]man [B5,A5,G5]
[C5] Cure us, we are sick from [D5]violence
In your [Am]sideshow of [G]life [C]
Im[G]partiality is like
A [C]coin they have to spend
[Am7]The currency of the chosen few
[Am7]They place their bets
Switch on your sets
There's [G]world disasters by the minute
They [C]tell us on the hour
And [Am7]when we think we've paid our dues
[Am7] They've filmed our blues for the late night news
We [G]gather round [C] [G]
[C5] Show us peace and under[G5]standing [B5,A5,G5]
[C5] Brother love for fellow [G5]man [B5,A5,G5]
[C5] Cure us, we are sick from [D5]violence
In your [Am]sideshow of [G]life [c]
Sideshow of [G]life [C]
When it's [G]late at night and you're all alone
With the one you [C]love
Turn on the late night news and cry
[G]Tears for all the lost and lonely people
[C]Innocents in prime time
[G](Tragedies) of our [C]life
[G](Tragedies) of our [C]life
[G](Tragedies) of our [C]life
