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
I'm 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
I'm 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
I'm 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
I'm not cut from the same mold,
Done with yours,
I'm living my life for me
for meeeee(repeated a couple of times)
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
I'm 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
I'm not cut from the same mold,
Done with yours,
I'm living my life for me!
