I came across a song on a tape the other day, I don't know where it came from, don't know the artist or the writer. Can anyone identify it and tell me anything about it . The first few lines go
She thinks of herself as a victim of circumstance
But she just volunteered
She has placed her life in the hands of any man
Fool enough to come near

Hope I got the breaks right, thanks for any info.

McP. Think this is the song....don't know anything else about it yet though!

Victim/Volunteer - By Christine Lavin
(Transcribed by Ear)

He thinks of himself as a victim of love
He's not - He's a volunteer
He has consistantly fallen for all the wrong women
Year after year after year
And now he blames every woman who has ever kissed him
Told him that she loved him and later dismissed him
And now he thinks he's a walking victim
He's not - He's a volunteer

She thinks of herself as a victim of circumstance
When she's a volunteer
She has placed her life in the hands of every man
Fool enough to come near
And now she blames anyone who she thinks has used her
Emotionally, or mentally abused her
She's not a victim or a criminal [procecuter]
No - She's a volunteer

And he thinks of himself as a victim of [fate]
When he just volunteers
He has invested his money in well bred astrologers
Healers, Psychic Seers
And now he blames every tilted constellation
Or every negative vibration
He's not a victim of UFO infestation
He's a volunteer

Oh pick the numbers
Shake the sticks
Read the tea leaves
Light the wicks
Point the finger
Pass the buck
Blame it all on lady luck

Do 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 the [causes as easy as you do]?
Do you fool with modern high tech voodoo?
Too bad if you're a victim or whatever you do?
Don't volunteer

Or do you follow the causes as easy as you do?
Do you fool with modern high tech voodoo?
Too bad if you're a victim or whatever you do?
Don't volunteer
Why would ya volunteer?
Please don't volunteer!


best wishes, Yvonne

If it's the right song, it's by Christine Lavin, on the Atainable Love Cd....
