 * Get It Right – The Offspring **

I've been told that to get what you want You just gotta give what you can But I know for what I want it don't come easy as that They say, "Look out, boy Tomorrow comes and things will look better by then." But I'll look out the window Then look in the mirror at the same old me again

Still can't get it right And for all I know I swear I never will

Do you think you'd sell your soul To just have one thing to turn out right? For the thousandth time you turnand find

That it just makes no difference to try Like Holden Caulfield, I tell myself There's got to be a better way

Then I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling Dream of brighter days

No way out Same old stuff always drags me down Now way out Never gonna get it


 * Screeching Weasel: I Wrote Holden Caulfield **

I loved you for the minute when you decided to tell me the truth I heard you and that night I cried for you I know that you're alone just like everyone else in the world Don't tell me that things don't get better 'cause sometimes they do Sometimes they do and I know they will for you The days are getting shorter and you're forgetting the things you just said I'm hoping that you'll move ahead I wonder if you'll ever come to realize what I always knew I wrote Holden Caulfield and so did you I wanna know if you wanna wake up I wanna know when you'll stop dying for what you've done stop crying for what you've done it's only the past it's only life what have you done that's so bad it's only life so don't waste time why don't you stop crying for what's done for what is done


 * Green Day - Who wrote Holden Caulfield? **

A thought burst in my head And i need to tell you It's news that i for thought Was it just a dream That happened long ago? I think i just forgot Well it hasn't been the first time And it sure does drive me mad

There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting

I shuffle through my mind To see if i can find The words i left behind Was it just a dream That happened long ago? Oh well... Never mind.
