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'd 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
Ooh, the catcher in the rye again
Ooh, won't let you get away from him
It's just another day like today
You decide if I don't have to
Then they'll find and I won't ask you
At anytime or long thereafter
If it's cold outside
I'll be wrapped up in, into me
Ooh, 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
That's not whom I to say
But every time I'd 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 find
Someone that belonged
Insane like I do
Oh no, not at all
Oh no, not at all, not at all
Oh no, not at all, not at all
On an ordinary day
Not in an ordinary way
All at once this 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
Unlike me
And then the voices ran away
From me
So now you set the wheels in motion
You haunt our memories
You were the instrument
You were the one
How a body tipped the bottle
And gave that boy a gun
You took our innocence
Beyond our scabs
Sometimes the only thing
We got at all
When no one else is there
