Volunteers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Hey, I'm dancing down the street
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution, got to revolution
One generation got old
One generation got soul
This generation got no dissertation to hold
Pick up the cry
[Verse 2]
Hey now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Come on now, we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Who will take it from you, we will and who are we?
[Chorus]
We are volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Hey, I'm dancing down the street
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution, got to revolution
One generation got old
One generation got soul
This generation got no dissertation to hold
Pick up the cry
[Verse 2]
Hey now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Come on now, we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Who will take it from you, we will and who are we?
[Chorus]
We are volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
[Refrain]
I got a revolution
Got a revolution
[Verse 1]
Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Hey, I'm dancing down the street
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution
[Chorus]
We are volunteers of America
Yeah, we're volunteers of America
We're volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
I got a revolution
Got a revolution
[Verse 1]
Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Hey, I'm dancing down the street
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution
[Chorus]
We are volunteers of America
Yeah, we're volunteers of America
We're volunteers of America

About
Genius Annotation
“Volunteers” by Paul Kanter and Marty Balin appears on the 1969 Jefferson Airplane album of the same name.
Jefferson Airplane broke from their psychedelic groove to make this anti-war anthem.
Kanter said he got the idea from a “Volunteers of America” bumper sticker that was pasted on the side of a garbage truck.
