[Verso 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
[Coro 1]
And I have been blamed
And I have repented
I'm working my way toward our union mended
[Verso 2]
I am 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
[Coro 2]
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
[Puente]
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 offence, 'cause
I am a man who understands your reticence
[Verso 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
[Coro 3]
Because 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
[Puente]
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 offence, 'cause
I am a man who understands your reticence
