Mockingbird Songtext
von Sam Brasko

That sunken face feels out of place
But I don′t know where it fits
Well that mockingbird rules all the world
But dammit it's not his

Well folks hear this and clench their fist
And scream, It′s everyone but me
Well it's him, it's her, it′s the rest of the world
I′m as real as they come, you see


I can't spare a dime on borrowed time
Why′s it him instead of me
Well I'll point at you when credit′s due
Just as long as you point at me

Well now I plug my ears and wipe away my tears
And I'll do everything I′m not told
But now the house we built has lost its stilt
There's no teachin' a dog this old

With all this damage done we′ve all but won
But that′s no surprise to me
Well I thought I heard that mockingbird
Still singing his decree
