Same Old Story Lyrics

It's patience trying - when you tell me how to live
Well you don't know anything
Your expenctations 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 - 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

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
