A farmer on a tractor  Plowing in the field  Doing all he can to increase the yield  But the more he raises  The more the price goes down    Over at the factory  Working on the line  You do a good job and never fall behind  So your quota goes up every time you turn around  It ain't nothing new, it's called a Catch 22    Heads they win, tails you lose  It's all the same either way you choose  You're damned if you don't and even if you do  It's still a Catch 22    Tell a man you love him  He starts backing up  Tell him you don't and he's a lovesick pup  You try to get together  And watch it fall apart  Hey I've been there too, what a Catch 22    Heads they win, tails you lose  It's all the same either way you choose  You're damned if you don't and even if you do  It's still a Catch 22    Heads they win, tails you lose  It's all the same either way you choose  You're damned if you don't and even if you do  It's a Catch 22  Oh it's a Catch 22  No matter what you do, it's a Catch 22
