it's patience trying- when you tell me how to live

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
