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 a man who has grown form a son been crucifled by enraged women i am a 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 mented
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 reticence
i am a man who still does what he can to despel 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
