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 ya get away from his gun 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 As I'm imaging How it's gonna be All alone
(Solo)
Ooh the Catcher in the Rye again Ooh won't let ya get away from his gun 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 It's 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 (repeat)
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 boy took that way From me So that he set the wheels in motion Haunts our memories You were the instrument You were the one How a body took the body Gave that boy a gun Took our innocence Beyond our stares Some type of omen There we got it All alone with her to tell
