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
