Holden Caulfield lyrics

From now on, I'm expelled from school (Expelled from school) Known as a motherfucker who never follows the rules (Rules) The world was never cool Adults talk about the importance of truth At the same time they love to deceive (Oh deceive, oh deceive) They preach pretty speeches But never apply them in their deeds (In their deeds) I lost my dear lil brother When he was still just a kid Full of sweetness and totally naive (Naive, naive) (Naive, naive) Yeah I'm the catcher in the rye I don't want all these lil kids to think they're on their own in life Be their protector Hiding them from the world's danger Childhood is a shelter Where I feel the world is better (Is better) Money, power, and status don't matter (But I'm on the edge of losing control) I'm portrayed by anger and loneliness (And loneliness) I'm trying to get out of the emptiness Fuck how I feel I just don't want Phoebe to lose her happiness She's all I have right now (Right now) I know I'm not wanted at home (At home) That's why I'm gone I'm the catcher in the rye I don't want all these lil kids to think they're on their own in life Be their protector Hiding them from the world's danger Childhood is a shelter Where I feel the world is better (Is better) Money, power, and status don't matter (But I'm on the edge of losing control) Oh I'm losing control Oh I'm losing control I'm the catcher in the rye (Rye) Hum
