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 listeing

Take your ideals and go away

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

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

For so longI 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
