Lyrics: Eels. Mockingbird Franklin.

She's never know acceptance,
She never know the word,
She says, 'I like to call myself "M",
'But my real name is Mockingbird,'

Mockingbird Franklin,
So how do you do?
Mockingbird Franklin,
I'm a lot like you,

She says her mother is gone now,
She says she never got kin,
I said, 'I'm sorry, but is it true,
'did she really name you Mockingbird?'

Mockingbird Franklin,
Broke your heart in two,
Mockingbird Franklin,
I'm a lot like you,

Mocking bird,
Don't you change,
Just because you're not like them,
Oh, Mockingbird you're not the same,

Alone along the sidewalk,
Her steps are barely heard,
It's kind of funny, that it's her name,
'Cause she's nothing like a mockingbird,
Nothing like a mockingbird,

Mockingbird Franklin,
Don't it get to you?
Mockingbird Franklin,
I'm a lot like you,
I'm a lot like you,
It's true
