There are days I don't believe the words I say
                        
Like a life that I'm not living
                                    
A song that I'm not singing but to you


                                 
There are times that I believe I'm satisfied
                   
Like an intimate connection
                                 
Despite this bad reception with you


                      
Cause I can't afford to pay
                 
For most of what I say
           
So it's a lucky thing
                         
That the truth's public domain


              
And I am like a mockingbird
                       
I've got no new song to sing
               
And I am like an amplifier
                         
I just tell you what I've heard
                  
Oh, I'm like a mockingbird


                                   
And yes, it's true that I need this more than you
                      
Like one whose name is many
                                  
Have mercy, please don't send me away


                
And I’ll do all I can
             
To be a better man
                 
Oh I’ll clean up this act
                    
And be worse than we started
