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   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      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   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      Oh, it's a catch 22   No matter what you do, it's a catch 22
