Amanam

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 a 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

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 resistance

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

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 resistance
