like Father like son

i guess i ran into another wall today
when you told me not to i did it anyway
i believe in experience and that includes mistakes
i'll find out the hard way if that is what it takes

with age comes wisdom you must be very old
some things i'll grow into without being told
you already know this but to me it is new
i'm going to find out the same way as you
don't tell me what to do (i know you know)

i'm running through a new field of expression
discovering first hand without protection
the things that you tell me are absolutely true
i'm going to find out the same way as you
don't tell me what to do (i know you know)

all this rebellion has made a man of me
what if i'm a victim of reverse psychology?
