Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And I have been blamed And I have repented I'm working my way toward our union mended [Verse 2] I am man who has grown from a son Been crucified by enraged woman I am a son who was raised by such men I'm often reminded of the fools I'm among [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] We don't fare well with endless reprimands And we don't do well with a life served as a sentence And this won't work well if you're hell bent on your offense 'Cause I am a man who understands your reticence [Verse 3] 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 'Cause I don't fare well with endless punishment [Chorus] 'Cause 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 [Post-Chorus] We don't fare well with endless reprimands And we don't do well with a life served as a sentence And this won't work well if you're hell bent on your offense 'Cause I am a man who understands your reticence
