[Verse 1]
Wish I could hold a grudge
Like a mocking bird
They wear their hate on their wing
Peck at your brain
Remember your name
Like it ain't nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
They circle slow
Then they strike fast
Smile like a saint
Then they spit in your glass
[Chorus]
Mockingbird grudge
Mockingbird grudge
They sing your name
Then they tear it up
Mockingbird grudge
Mockingbird grudge
One sharp stare
And it won't let up
[Verse 2]
I seen that look
On a porch by noon
Hands in their pockets
Mouth full of doom
Talk sweet, talk mean
Same old game
Leave a bruise in the shade
Then blame your name
[Pre-Chorus]
They circle slow
Then they strike fast
Smile like a saint
Then they spit in your glass
[Chorus]
Mockingbird grudge
Mockingbird grudge
They sing your name
Then they tear it up
Mockingbird grudge
Mockingbird grudge
One sharp stare
And it won't let up
[Bridge]
I ain't built that way
I let it burn out
But some folks keep a wound
Like a flag of doubt
Bird on a fencepost
Cold as rust
If they want my blood
They'll have to outlast us
[Chorus]
Mockingbird grudge
Mockingbird grudge
They sing your name
Then they tear it up
Mockingbird grudge
Mockingbird grudge
One sharp stare
And it won't let up
