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
[[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
