a man

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 ingnored and i have been blamed and i have 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 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
