Christine Lavin - Victim/Volunteer Lyrics
He thinks of himself as a victim of loveHe's not - He's a volunteerHe has consistently fallen for all the wrong womenYear after year after yearAnd now he blames every woman who has ever kissed himTold him that she loved him and later dismissed himAnd now he thinks he's a walking victimHe's not - He's a volunteerShe thinks of herself as a victim of circumstanceWhen she's a volunteerShe has placed her life in the hands of every manFool enough to come nearAnd now she blames anyone who she thinks has used herEmotionally, or mentally abused herShe's not a victim running from a persecutorNo - She's a volunteerAnd he thinks of himself as a victim of fateWhen he just volunteersHe has invested his money in well bred astrologersHealers, Psychic SeersAnd now he blames every tilted constellationOr every negative vibrationHe's not a victim of UFO infestationHe's a volunteerOh pick the numbersShake the sticksRead the tea leavesLight the wicksPoint the fingerPass the buckBlame it all on lady luckDo you think of yourself as a victim?Or do you volunteer?Do you let somebody else call all of your shots?Do you cower in the corner in fear?Or do you follow because it is easy to do?Do you fool with modern high tech voodoo?Too bad if you're a victim or whatever you do?Don't volunteerOr do you follow because it is easy to do?Do you fool with modern high tech voodoo?Too bad if you're a victim but whatever you doDon't volunteerWhy would ya volunteer?Please don't volunteer!
