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
