 Intro ///
Silhouettes  above the cradle  hold me down
They  won't 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  don't wanna live  like my mother
 I don't wanna let fear rule  my life
 And i  don't wanna live  like my father
 I don't 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  don't ever  want to end  up like he did
I  don't wanna live  like my mother
 I don't wanna let fear rule  my life
 And i  don't wanna live  like my father
 I don't wanna give up  before  i die
When  i have kids
I  won't put any chains on  their wrists,  i won't
I'll  tell them this there's  nothing in this world
 That you  can't be  if you want  it enough
I  don't wanna live  like my mother
 I don't wanna let fear rule  my life
 And i  don't wanna live  like my father
 I don't wanna give up  before  i die
I  don't wanna live  like my mother
 I don't wanna let fear rule  my life
 And i  don't wanna live  like my father
 I don't wanna give up  before  i die
