I have learnt through all my past mistakes
   Not to let the hurdles sap my energy
   Time will tell and time is all it takes
   You won't see the bastards knock the running out of me
  
   And the band, they played one more song
   One for the mocking bird, they played one more song
   All the tears, they fell one by one
   All for the mocking-bird, they fell one by one
  
   Don't be fooled by those who feed you words
   They just twist and tighten up the tourniquet
   But the sweetest song of all the mocking-birds
   Couldn't hope to match one note of any song we played
  
   And the band, they played one more song
   One for the mocking bird, they played one more song
   All the dreams, they broke one by one
   All for the mocking-bird, they broke one by one
  
   What are you hiding from?
   Why do you lock the door?
   Open up the door!
  
   And the band, they played...
  
   I have learnt, time will tell, years will pass, tears will fall,
   Don't be fooled, fed by words, their sweet songs,
   Mocking-birds!
