[E] [A] Saw the paper [E]the [B]other day
[E] [A] Started [E]to [B]read
[E] [A] Seems they’ve got a new way
[E]Of [B]fighting all their wars
[E] [A] Just what [E]we [B]need
[E] [A] When will you stop playing all [E]your [B]games?
[E] [A] Won’t you listen when [E]we [B]say
[E] [A] I don’t remember anyone [E]asking [B]me about it
[E] [A] Or don’t we matter an[E]y[B]way? 

[E]Victims of circumstance that’s what we are
[E]Hidden from light so we can’t see
[E]Victims of circumstance that’s what we are
You and [B]me, you and [A]me 

[E] [A] Those mistakes that [E]you [B]all made in the past
[E] [A] You never seem [E]to [B]see
[E] [A] Do you have to bring [E]your [B]ships across the water?
[E] [A] Please let [E]us [B]be
[E] [A] Master, master, [E]I [B]really want to live!
[E] [A] Do we always have [E]to [B]plead?
[E] [A] Looks like you’ve put us [E]in the [B]frontline once again
[E] [A] Won’t you stop this in[E]sani[B]ty? 

[E]Victims of circumstance that’s what we are
[E]Hidden from light so we can’t see
[E]Victims of circumstance that’s what we are
You and [B]me, you and [A]me
