Volunteer Victims

People say it's my attitude
They say my attitude is poor
They say I don't wanna care about
Anybody else any more

They don't listen when I tell them

That I've been staying the same
Holding my ground
Watchin' them slippin' away

Somebody else, can be

A volunteer victim, not me
It all seems so easy
But it's not for me

Well I'm all out of compromise

And I don't wanna be victimized
I still believe in miracles
But I don't know why

There's nothin' wrong with dreamin'

So long as you decide
Between the one that you sleep through
And the one that you ride

Somebody else can be

A volunteer victim, not me
It all seems so easy
But it's not for me

Don't wanna spend my lifetime

Livin' in a hive
Yeah, barely alive
'Cause you never can revive
A volunteer victim

Somebody else can be

A volunteer victim, not me
It all seems so easy
But it's not for me, it's not for me

Volunteer victims

Walkin' in their sleep
A volunteer victim
Dead on their feet
I never wanna be .... never gonna be ... one of them ....
