A Man

[ti:A Man] [ar:Alanis Morissette] [al:Under Rug Swept] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] 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 man who has grown from a son Been crucified by enraged women I am 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 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 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
