How did Camus really die that night?

 Were they right? When he died was it really his time, or was it suicide?

And Holden Caulfield is a friend of mine

 We go drinking from time to time, and I find it gets harder every time.

Chorus

Back Off!

 You're out on the street again

Don't you stop!

 Did you know you couldn't swim?

Back Off!

 You're out on the street again

 I'm not going to play if there ain't no way I'll win!

Hemingway never seemed to mind the banalities of a normal life

 and I find, it gets harder every time

Chorus

Back Off!

 You're out on the street again

Don't you stop!

 Did you know you couldn't swim?

Back Off!

 You're out on the street again

 I'm not going to play if there ain't no way I'll win!

Hey there Salinger, what did you do?

Just when the world was looking at you

 To write anything that meant anything,

 You told us you were through

And it’s been years since you passed away,

 But I see no plaque, and I see no grave

 And I can’t help believing you wanted it that way

And Vincent Van Gogh, why do you weep?

 You were on your way to heaven but the road was steep

 And who was there to break your fall?

 We’re guilty, one and all

 And I don’t know much, but I do know this:

 With a golden heart comes a rebel fist

 But I can't help agreeing with those that would not quit

Verse

 And it makes me sick when I think of it

 All my heroes that could not live with this

 and I hope you rest in peace

 Because with us, You never did!

And K.D.C., you were much too young!

And you changed my life!

 But I draw the line at suicide!

 Here's To Life!!! Here's to life
