It's patience trying
when you tell me
how to live
Well you don't know
anything
your expectations
are wearing thin
You won't even
take a look
to see another way
You aren't even listening
take your ideals
and go away
I'm not cut from
the same mold
I don't read from
the same old story
not cut from
the same mold
don't know who you
think I should be
I'm not cut from
the same mold
I don't read from
the same old story
not cut from
the same mold
done with yours
I'm living my life for me
Tell me father
did I turn out so bad
didn't I look up to you
took every piece
of advice you had
Go to School and get a job
send me on your way
You aren't
even listening
take your dreams
and go away
I'm not cut from
the same mold
I don't read from
the same old story
not cut from
the same mold
don't know who you
think I should be
I'm not cut from
the same mold
I don't read from
the same old story
not cut from
the same mold
done with yours
I'm living mine for me
For so long I tried
to understand
the qualities you thought
made up a real man
now it's time for me
to find out for myself
I'm getting fed up
I don't need your help
You never listen
to both sides
of the story
You never listen
you won't listen to me
I'm not cut from
the same mold
I don't read from
the same old story
not cut from
the same mold
don't know who
you think I should be
I'm not cut from
the same mold
I don't read from
the same old story
not cut from
the same mold
done with yours
I'm living mine for me
