Lyrics
0:08I am a man as a man I've been told
0:14Bacon is brought to the house in this mold
0:22Born of your bellies I yearn for the cord
0:30Years I have groveled repentance ignored
0:36And I have been blamed
0:40And I have repented
0:43I'm working my way toward our union mended
0:58I am man who has grown from a son
1:05Been crucified by enraged women
1:12I am son who was raised by such men
1:20I'm often reminded of the fools I'm among
1:26And I have been shamed
1:30And I have relented
1:35I'm working my way toward our union mended
1:41And I have been shamed
1:45And I have repented
1:49I'm working my way toward our union mended
1:55We don't fare well with endless reprimands
2:03We don't do well with a life served as a sentence
2:11This won't work well if you're hell bent on your offence
2:18I am a man who understands your reticence
2:25I am a man who still does what he can
2:33To dispel our archaic reputation
2:41I am a man who has heard all he can
2:47Cuz I don't fare well with endless punishment
2:54Cuz I have been blamed and I have repented
3:01I'm working my way toward our union mended
3:09And we have been blamed and we have repented
3:16I'm working my way toward our union mended
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 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
