Spit fire like a spit fire chasing a fire
Hold fast like a fast car in the fast lane
Break your heart by breaking up and down, before you break,
Kill the pain before the pain kills you
Take a breath before you breathe your last
Take hold of everything that holds you down

To kill you would be to kill a mockingbird
Because all you ever do is copy me
You took everything that I once thought you were
and broke that picture right in front of me

Stay calm like the calm before the storm
Keep watch like a watch that keeps its time
Love strong like love that is so strong, love makes you strong
The right way is the only way that's right
So turn right and don't wait your turn tonight
If time is money then put your money on time

To kill a mockingbird, to kill a mockingbird
Cuz all you ever do is copy me
To kill you would be to kill a mockingbird
Cuz all you ever do is copy me
To kill a mockingbird, you copy me
You broke that picture right in front of me
