作曲 : Michael Heeney/Clint Daniels/Michael White
Hard as I tried to be
Like the other kids on the street
A square peg in a round hole
Yeah that was always me
Tried to act and talk like them
Wanting so bad to fit in
I asked my old man what's wrong with me
He'd just smiled and said
You hear that Mockingbird
He sounds just like a Blue jay
He can imitate a Robin all day long
He's got that Sparrow down
He's got a thousand different voices
From a Nightingale to a Whippoorwill at dawn
But that old Mockingbird
Sings everybody's song but his own
Black and white it seems
Is how most other people dream
But mine's a mix of crazy colours
That no one sees but me
Most draw between the lines
I'm off the page most the time
But right or wrong I've found my voice
To sing this song of mine
That old Mockingbird
He sounds just like a Blue Jay
He can imitate a Robin all day long
He's got that Sparrow down
He's got a thousand different voices
From a Nightingale to a Whippoorwill at dawn
But that old Mockingbird
Sings everybody's song but his own
Here's to living against the grain
Here's to betting on yourself
Here's to being who you are
And not being someone else
He's got that Sparrow down
He's got a thousand different voices
From a Nightingale to a Whippoorwill at dawn
But that old Mockingbird
Sings everybody's song
That old Mockingbird
Sings everybody's song
But his own
