about

Volunteer was writen in 1979 and early1980. The Canadian Government floated the idea of reinstating conscription. It didn't go anywhere.

Dim Darc thanks Tony Springer for his lead guitar track.

lyrics

Volunteer Words & Music: Dim Darc (Koshyk, Spence & Datzkiw)

I got shivers running up and down my spine
Must have read the brochure about a hundred times
I don’t want to live an army life
Just to end as fodder for the government lie

I’m no volunteer,
Can you make it clear why I might?

I got shivers running up and down my spine
Must have fired my gun a thousand times
I don’t want to kill for army life
Or just end up as fodder on the line

I’m no volunteer,
Can you make it clear why I fight?

No more shivers running up and down my spine
Must have cried inside about a thousand times
I didn’t want to meet my army death
But here I am as fodder for a government lie

I’m no volunteer,
Can you make it clear why I died?
