One For The Mockingbirds

I have learned 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 mockingbird, they played one more song
All the tears, they fell one by one
All for the mockingbird, they fell one by one

Don't be fooled by those who fear you words
They just twist and tighten up the tourniquet
But the sweetest song of all the mockingbirds
Couldn't hope to match one note of any song we played

And the band, they played one more song
One for the mockingbird, they played one more song
All the dreams, they broke one by one
All for the mockingbird, they broke one by one

Ooh
What are you hiding from?
Ooh
Why do you lock the door?
Open up the door!

The band, they played one more song
One for the mockingbird, they played one more song
All the tears, they fell one by one
All for the mockingbird, they fell one by one

I have learned, time will tell, years will pass, tears will fall,
Don't be fooled, led by words, their sweet songs,
Mockingbirds...
No no no no no no...
No no no no no no...
