A Man Alanis Morissette

[Verse 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

[Chorus]
And I have been blamed
And I have repented
I'm working my way toward our union mended

[Verse 2]
I am man who has grown from a son
Been crucified by enraged woman
I am a son who was raised by such men
I'm often reminded of the fools I'm among

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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 offense
'Cause I am a man who understands your reticence
