Catch 22

Well You're damned if you do
You're damned if you don't
Catch 22
You're so Very close, Yet so far
You gave your best shot
Still no cigar
Working your fingers down to the bone
Running with sinners, your life's just on loan
Catch 22
They say you can
They say that you can't
Catch 22
The Limits the sky
But they lock you inside
You're livin' a lie
You'll never know why
Workin' your fingers down to the bone
Running with sinners, your life's just a loan
Catch 22
Catch 22
You think you will win
But you always lose
Catch 22
They think they're so strong
They think they are so wise
You know they are wrong
They tread on thin ice
Working your fingers down to the bone
Running with sinners
Your life is just a loan
Catch 22
Catch 22
You think you will win, but you always lose
Catch 22
They think thet are so strong
They think they are so wise
You know they are wrong
They tread on thin ice
Workin' you fingers, down to the bone
Running with Sinners, Your life is just a loan
Catch 22
Catch 22
