In the rye

Aah, aah…
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 everytime 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
If I am in time, or long thereafter
If we're cold outside, I'll be wrapped up into me (?), oh oh
Na na na na (etc)
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 time went by the same
But everytime 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 is not there for me and all too far someone that's gone insane, like I do
Woah no Na na na
On an ordinary day, back in an ordinary way
All at once the song I heard, no longer would it play
For anybody, or anyone
That needed comfort from some god and me…I need comfort from someone
Who cared, to be, not like you and unlike me
And then the voice just went away, from me
So that it set the wheels in motion to alter memories
You were the instrument, you were young, how about it, talk about it
Gave that boy a gun
Took my innocence, beyond my scabs, sometimes we own it then we got it oh… can' t you tell
Ahh ahh na na
