A Man lyrics

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 been repented
i´m working my way toward our union mended

i am a man who has grown from a son
been crucified 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 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 reticence

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
