Lyrics
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 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
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
