Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down They wont let me go the wrong way My mother taught me all the fables, told me how In the end all the sinners have to pay But... I dont wanna live like my mother I dont wanna let fear rule my life And I dont wanna live like my father I dont wanna give up before I die He worked so hard his bones are breaking He wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling His good intentions leave me shaking, show me how I dont ever want to end up like he did And... I dont wanna live like my mother I dont wanna let fear rule my life And I dont wanna live like my father I dont wanna give up before I die When I have kids I wont put any chains on their wrists, I wont Ill tell them this Theres nothing in this world that you cant be if you want it enough I dont wanna live like my mother I dont wanna let fear rule my life And I dont wanna live like my father I dont wanna give up before I die I dont wanna live like my mother I dont wanna let fear rule my life I dont wanna live like my father I dont wanna give up before I die
