Let the Boy Cook
I refuse to fit the mold
What happened to all your dreams
Did the suits convince you to leave
Your aspirations and dignity
Or did you forget how it used to be
To skate down 86th St
Get chased by the cops running
I know life gets away from us
But we cant give up
We cant give up
For all the deadbeat kids
With broken hearts and fantasies
Be the person that you want to be
And not what others need to see
You'll scream "NO! NO! NO!" when they reign you in
Because they just won't understand
You don't have to fit this mold
All stories are made before they're told
Let's take a trip down memory lane
And see if I can try to explain
That it kinda bums me out
When we don't talk or hangout
Remember when I almost died
Pick any of the hundred times
I miss all the laughs we had
But now I'm always mad
I'm always mad, mad at myself
For all the deadbeat kids
With broken hearts and fantasies
Be the person that you want to be
And not what others need to see
You'll scream "NO! NO! NO!" when they reign you in
Because they just won't understand
You don't have to fit this mold
All stories are made before they're told
WHY'D I HAVE TO WASTE SO MUCH TIME
Listen up you deadbeat kids
With broken hearts just like me
Be the person that you want to be
It's not too far out of reach
You'll scream "NO! NO! NO!" when they reign you in
Because I can finally understand
We don't have to fit this mold
All stories are made before they're told
What happened to all your dreams
Did the suits convince you to leave
Your aspirations and dignity
Or did you forget how it used to be
To skate down 86th St
Get chased by the cops running
I know life gets away from us
But we cant give up
We cant give up
For all the deadbeat kids
With broken hearts and fantasies
Be the person that you want to be
And not what others need to see
You'll scream "NO! NO! NO!" when they reign you in
Because they just won't understand
You don't have to fit this mold
All stories are made before they're told
Let's take a trip down memory lane
And see if I can try to explain
That it kinda bums me out
When we don't talk or hangout
Remember when I almost died
Pick any of the hundred times
I miss all the laughs we had
But now I'm always mad
I'm always mad, mad at myself
For all the deadbeat kids
With broken hearts and fantasies
Be the person that you want to be
And not what others need to see
You'll scream "NO! NO! NO!" when they reign you in
Because they just won't understand
You don't have to fit this mold
All stories are made before they're told
WHY'D I HAVE TO WASTE SO MUCH TIME
Listen up you deadbeat kids
With broken hearts just like me
Be the person that you want to be
It's not too far out of reach
You'll scream "NO! NO! NO!" when they reign you in
Because I can finally understand
We don't have to fit this mold
All stories are made before they're told
