Fortunate Youth & Pepper - Same Old Story Lyrics

Fortunate Youth & Pepper Lyrics

"Same Old Story"
(originally by Pennywise)

Patience trying when you tell me how to live
You don't know anything, oh, expectations wearing thin
You won't even take a look to see another way
Oh, you're not even listening, oh, take your ideals and go away

I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't read from the same old stories
I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't know who you think I should be
Since I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't read from the same old stories
I'm not cut from the same mold
I'm done living yours, and I'm living mine for me

Tell me, father, did I turn out so bad?
Didn't I look up to you? Oh, took every piece of advice you had
Go to school and get a job, oh, send me on my way
You're not even listening, oh, take your dreams and go away

Since I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't read from the same old stories
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 stories
I'm not cut from the same mold
Oh, I'm living mine for me, oh yes

For so long, I tried to understand
The qualities you thought would make a real man
But now it's time 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, oh yes
You never listen, you never listen to me, oh yeah

I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't read from the same old stories
I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't know who you think I should be
Since I'm not cut from the same mold
Oh, I don't read from the same old stories
I'm not cut from the same mold
I'm done living yours, and I'm living mine for me
