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 trying cut from the same mold   I don't read from the same old story   I'm not cut fromthe 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 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 get a job send me on your way   You aren't even listening   Take your dreams and go away      I'm trying cut from the same mold   I don't read from the same old story   I'm not cut fromthe 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 life for me      For so long I have 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 cut from the same mold   I don't read from the same old story   I'm not cut fromthe 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 life for me
