Alanis Morissette - A Man lyrics

I am a man as a man I've been told<br>Bacon is brought to the house in this mold<br>Born of your bellies I yearn for the cord<br>Years I have groveled repentance ignored<br><br>And I have been blamed<br>And I have repented<br>I'm working my way toward our union mended<br><br>I am man who has grown from a son<br>Been crucified by enraged women<br>I am son who was raised by such men<br>I'm often reminded of the fools I'm among<br><br>And I have been shamed<br>And I have relented<br>I'm working my way toward our union mended<br>And I have been shamed<br>And I have repented<br>I'm working my way toward our union mended<br><br>We don't fare well with endless reprimands<br>We don't do well with a life served as a sentence<br>This won't work well if you're hell bent on your offence<br>I am a man who understands your resistance<br><br>I am a man who still does what he can<br>To dispel our archaic reputation<br>I am a man who has heard all he can<br>Cuz I don't fare well with endless punishment<br><br>Cuz I have been blamed and I have repented<br>I'm working my way toward our union mended<br>And we have been blamed and we have repented<br>I'm working my way toward our union mended
