A Man
I am a man as a man I′ve been told
Bacon is brought to the house in this mold
Born of your bellies I yearn for the cord
Years I have groveled repentance ignored
And I have been blamed
And I have repented
I′m working my way toward our union mended
I am man who has grown from a son
Been crucified by enraged women
I am son who was raised by such men
I′m often reminded of the fools I′m among
And I have been shamed
And I have relented
I′m working my way toward our union mended
And I have been shamed
And I have repented
I′m working my way toward our union mended
We don′t fare well with endless reprimands
We don′t do well with a life served as a sentence
This won′t work well if you′re hell bent on your offence
I am a man who understands your resistance
I am a man who still does what he can
To dispel our archaic reputation
I am a man who has heard all he can
Cuz I don′t fare well with endless punishment
Cuz I have been blamed and I have repented
I′m working my way toward our union mended
And we have been blamed and we have repented
I′m working my way toward our union mended
