I am a man as a man Ive 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
Im 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
Im often reminded of the fools Im among
And I have been shamed
And I have relented
Im working my way toward our union mended
And I have been shamed
And I have repented
Im working my way toward our union mended
we dont fare well with endless reprimands
we dont do well with a life served as a sentence
this wont work well if youre 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 dont fare well with endless punishment
Cuz I have been blamed and I have repented
Im working my way toward our union mended
And we have been blamed and we have repented
Im working my way toward our union mended
