I Wrote Holden Caulfield Lyrics

Artist: Screeching Weasel
Album: How To Make Enemies And Irritate People

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

Haha! Green Day has a song called "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield"!

The reason that Green Day has a song called "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield" is because they are highly influenced by Screeching Weasel. Mike Dirnt even played with them in 1994.

Yeah... Too bad Green Day's "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?" was released first. And yeah! Mike Dirnt even played on "I Wrote Holden Caulfield"... two years after he played on Green Day's!!!!! wow!
