lirik lagu a man – alanis morissette
a man
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 h-ll 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
