but 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
i 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 advise you had
go to school get a job- send me on your way
you aren't even listening
take your dreams and go away
for so long i've 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
