Ain’t nothing so precious as a first born child
What to call their little angel
They wondered for awhile
Your dear mama Violet
And your proud daddy Dale
I know when they named ya
They surely meant well, but…

Vidalia, Vidalia
Girl won’t you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
You always gotta make me cry

I never paid no attention to a girl before
Till the day I saw you standin’
In the Sunday school door
One boy sorta snickered when the roll was read
Till you laid the word of God
Up ‘side of his head

Vidalia, Vidalia
Girl won’t you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
You always gotta make me cry

When I try to get too close
Seems like we’ve always been almost
Just one step or two away from true love

Well I love the way you walk, I love the way you kiss
I love to get away with you alone like this
If I could mention just one little thing
Vidalia would ya stop livin’ up to your name

Vidalia, Vidalia
Girl won’t you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
You always gotta make me cry

Vidalia
Girl won’t you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
You always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry

Barren stares as they light up the screen
Bearing teardrops that shatter in slow-motion
Novocaine our brains and we’re out like lights
But as I’m growing older I’m bored
I remember when misery thrilled me much more
When I can’t relax
And I’d like to go back
But that’s gone
Yeah, that’s gone, Turn around
Turn the volume down
We’re counting the days down

Till the day when we live in a video
I’ll be stone-faced and pale
You’ll pout in stereo
24 hours every day of the year
Oh, what fun I can’t wait ’til the future gets here

Closing in on the pain and the torture
He’s slamming the doors like it’s something to strive for
The girl tearing the curtains down looks funny as hell

And of sense of humor is there be any doubt
But that natural selection has weeded it out
Used to keep me from laughing out loud
But that’s gone
We don’t think that way no more
That’s gone, turn around, turn the volume down
We’re counting the days down

I’ve seen some old friends sort of die
Or just turn into whatever
Must’ve been inside them
And whatever all of us had then in common
Grew up and left home
We don’t think that way no more
Turn around, turn the volume down
We’re counting the days down

take a ride and you will see another dose of reality it’s your life that becomes a victim of me i think i’m sick and you will see because one good shot and you’ll end up dead it’s violence on the streets and it will never end the world is not built for me and your my next victim victim of reality voices screaming in my head telling me the path that i tread it’s not sane but it’s where we’re fed you’re gonna end up dead it’s not something new to me a body in the street free publicity for me and you a world we’ve known a world that is so cold

He?s just a victim of Society
He can?t be like they want him to be
Went away to raise a family
He?s just a Victim of Society

Cut his hair and he shaved his face
Packed his bags and he left the race
Went away and he hid his face
All his friends think it?s such a disgrace.


He?s just a victim of Society
He can?t be like they want him to be
Went away to raise a family
He?s just a Victim of Society


Used to be so wild and free
Never really bothered anybody
fought the battle
but he lost the war
now he?s like an eagle who soars


LEAD


He?s just a victim of Society
He can?t be like they want him to be
Went away to raise a family
He?s just a Victim of Society


The peaceful die and the cruel go free
What?s the answer seem to be
He looked at things the way we?d love to see
After all he had a family


He?s just a victim of Society
Raped and Crucified so pointlessly
Just another living soul set free
He?s just a Victim of Society

Well it took a little time
But I guess you finally learned
That promises get broken
And bridges do get burned
You’ve been siftin’ through the ashes
Just tryin’ to find a flame
Holdin’ on to nothin’
You’re a victim of the game

You were standin’ way too close
To see it all fall apart
And there were things you couldn’t hear
‘Cause you were listenin’ with your heart
But you can’t say I didn’t warn you
Now there’s no one else to blame
There’s on one quite as blind
As a victim of the game

And it don’t matter who you are
It treats everyone the same
All you need’s a heart
To be a victim of the game

You know it’s really gettin’ to you
When you take to tellin’ lies
And you can try to fool your friends
But you can’t look ’em in the eye
There ain’t no standin’ tall
In the shadow of the shame
When everybody knows
That you’re a victim of the game

And it don’t matter who you are
It treats everyone the same
All you need’s a heart
To be a victim of the game

Oh you know when I look into your eyes
I can really feel the pain
Starin’ in the mirror
At a victim of the game

It took a little time
But I guess you finally learned
That promises get broken
And bridges do get burned
You’ve been sittin’ through the ashes
Just tryin’ to find a flame
Holdin’ on to nothin’
You’re a victim of the game

You were standin’ way too close
To see it fall apart
There were things you couldn’t hear
‘Cause you were listenin’ with your heart
You can’t say I didn’t warn you
Now there’s no one else to blame
There’s no one quite as blind
As a victim of the game

And it don’t matter who you are
It treats everyone the same
All you need’s a heart
To be a victim of the game

You know it’s really gettin’ to you
When you take to tellin’ lies
You can try to fool your friends
But you can’t look ’em in the eye
There ain’t no standin’ tall
In the shadow of the shame
When everybody knows
That you’re a victim of the game

And it don’t matter who you are
It treats everyone the same
All you need’s a heart
To be a victim of the game

When I look into your eyes
I can really feel the pain
Starin’ in the mirror
At a victim of the game

I took this long to find you
Now I do nothing buth think about you
And though I feel this way
You’re telling me it’s wrong
It’s more than mere insinuation
And far beyond my imagination
If you can’t tell yourself allow me
to be strong
You won’t believe but I can see
it in you eyes

(Chorus)
You’re a victim of the modern heart
In your own way afraid of falling in love
A victim of the modern heart
You turn away instead of calling it love
It’s love-it’s love

It’s not the way you planned it
There’s nothing that you can do about it
And if you feel the same why must you
play along
You’ve got him on your mind
But I’ll be there sometime

(Chorus)
You’re a victim of the modern heart
In your own way afraid of falling in love
A victim of the modern heart
You turn away instead of calling it love
It’s love-it’s love

You won’t believe but I can see
it in your eyes

You’re a victim of the modern heart
In your own way afraid of falling in love
A victim of the modern heart
You turn away instead of calling it love
It’s love-it’s love

(Repeat Chorus to Fade)

Oh no, no! Please don’t tell me nothing.
Oh no, no! Why did you close the door?
You said you love me girl. I see you clear.
I know this can’t be real.
And then you fool around.
My heart is really what you want to steal.

I was trapped in your emotion.
But I never had the notion.
I was the victim of your love!
Breakin’ down.
I was the victim of your love!
Blind and deaf.
I was the victim of your love!
I was breakin down.
I was the victim of your love!
Blind and deaf.
Oh no, no!

And when you hold me tight.
Your love is all so warm and feels so right.
I touch your fingertips.
So come on girl.
Let me kiss your lips.

Let me be! Let me be!
