Catcher in the Rye

Ah, when all is said and done

We're not the only ones

Who look at life this way

That's what the old folks say

But every time I see them

Makes me wish I had a gun

If I thought that I was crazy

Well I guess I'd have more fun

Guess I'd have more fun

Oooh, the catcher in the rye again

Won't let you get away from him

It's just another day like today

You decide, 'cause I don't have to

And then they'll find and I won't ask you

At anytime or long hereafter

If the cold outside's as I'm imagining it to be, oh

La na na na na na na

La na na na na na na

Oooh, the catcher in the rye again

Ooh, won't let you get away from him

It's just another day like today

When all is said and done

We're not the only ones

Who look at life this way

That's what the young folks say

As if they'd ever change

As that who lie to say

But every time I see them

Makes me wish I had a gun

If I thought that I was crazy

Well I guess I'd have more fun

'Cause what used to be's not there for me

And ought to for someone

That belongs insane, like I do

Lana nana na na na

Lana nana na nana

On an ordinary day

Not in an ordinary way

All at once the song I heard

No longer would it play

For anybody

Or anyone

That needed comfort from somebody

Needed comfort from someone

Who cared

To be

Not like you

And unlike me

And then the voices went away

From me

Somehow you set the wheels in motion

That haunt our memories

You were the instrument

You were the one

How a body took a body

You gave that boy a gun

You took our innocence

Behind our stares

Sometime the only thing

We counted on when no one else was there

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Na na, na na, na na
