A Man Lyrics

Artist: Alanis Morissette
Album: Under Rug Swept

I am a man as a man ive 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 been repented
im 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
im often reminded of the fools im among

and i have been shamed
and i have relented
im working my way toward our union mended
and i have been shamed
and i have repented
im working my way toward our union mended

we dont fare well with endless reprimands
we dont do well with a life served as a sentence
this wont work well if youre 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 dont fare well with endless punishment

cuz i have been blamed and i have repented
im working my way toward our union mended
and we have been blamed and we have repented
im working my way toward our union mended
