[Verse 1: Ted Leo]
The contract's a joke
But when you see smoke
You run toward the fire 'cause you must
They all called your name when the crash finally came
Then left you to pick up the dust
I saw you walking in silence down to the bridge
But nothing went over the side
So I guess to someone with your heritage
Withdrawal, like consent, is implied
[Chorus: Aimee Mann & Ted Leo]
And it's true - no one else will do what you do
Volunteers of America, I'm calling you
[Verse 2: Aimee Mann]
What makes you feel you're less than ideal
If you can't get over it all?
That walk-away clause can't be just because
You're mad at the cross on the wall
Oh, and the last time I saw you, with hole in your side
I had to put my hand in to believe
Oh, but I couldn't meet those elephant eyes
And you couldn't take time to grieve
[Chorus: Aimee Mann & Ted Leo]
And it's true - no one else will do what you do
Volunteers of America, I'm calling you
The contract's a joke
But when you see smoke
You run toward the fire 'cause you must
They all called your name when the crash finally came
Then left you to pick up the dust
I saw you walking in silence down to the bridge
But nothing went over the side
So I guess to someone with your heritage
Withdrawal, like consent, is implied
[Chorus: Aimee Mann & Ted Leo]
And it's true - no one else will do what you do
Volunteers of America, I'm calling you
[Verse 2: Aimee Mann]
What makes you feel you're less than ideal
If you can't get over it all?
That walk-away clause can't be just because
You're mad at the cross on the wall
Oh, and the last time I saw you, with hole in your side
I had to put my hand in to believe
Oh, but I couldn't meet those elephant eyes
And you couldn't take time to grieve
[Chorus: Aimee Mann & Ted Leo]
And it's true - no one else will do what you do
Volunteers of America, I'm calling you
