Catcher N' The Rye
Guns N' Roses

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
