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
'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, oh

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
And if they'd ever change
As that were mine 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 for someone that belonged
Insane, like I do

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
Beyond our stares
Sometimes the only thing we counted on
When no one else was there
