The Man

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I am a man as a man I've been toldBacon is brought to the house in this moldBorn of your bellies I yearn for the cordYears I have groveled repentance ignoredAnd I have been blamedAnd I have repentedI'm working my way toward our union mendedI am man who has grown from a sonBeen crucified by enraged womenI am son who was raised by such menI'm often reminded of the fools I'm amongAnd I have been shamedAnd I have relentedI'm working my way toward our union mendedAnd I have been shamedAnd I have repentedI'm working my way toward our union mendedwe don't fare well with endless reprimandswe don't do well with a life served as a sentencethis won't work well if you're hell bent on your offenceI am a man who understands your resistanceI am a man who still does what he canto dispel our archaic reputationI am a man who has heard all he cancuz I don't fare well with endless punishmentCuz I have been blamed and I have repentedI'm working my way toward our union mendedAnd we have been blamed and we have repentedI'm working my way toward our union mended
