[E] [Em]
I am a man, as a man I've been told
[E] Bacon is [Em] brought to the house in this [C] mold
[Em] Born of your bellies, I [E] yearn for the core
Years I have [Em]
[E] groveled, repentance [Em] [C] ignored
[Em] And I, and I have panted
Working my way toward a union in this
[D] [G] I [Dm] am [Em] a man, who has grown from a son
Man crucified by an enraged woman
I am a son who was raised by such men
[B] [E] But, but reminded of a full [Em] time mom
And I [C] have been [Em] chained, and [F#] I [Em] have panted
[Am] Working my [Em] way toward [A] a union [G] in this
[Dm] [C] And I have been [Em] chained, and [Am] I [Em] have panted
[Dm] [C] Working [Em] my way toward [A] a union [Em] in this
[C] We [E] don't fare well with [A] them less [E] reprimanded
[C] We [F#] don't [E] do well with the [A] life served as [E] a sentence
[C] This won't [E] work with your [A] helmets on [Em] your fence
[C] And [B] who [A] else stands [Em] your distance?
[E] I am a man who still does what [Em] he can
[D] [E] To dispel our uncated reputation
[Em] [D]
[E] I am a man who has heard all [Em] he [F#] can
[D] Cause [E] I don't fare well with them less [Em] punishment
And I have, and [Am] I [Em] have panted
[Am] Working my [Em] way toward [Bm] a union [Em] in this
And [C] we have, [Em]
and [Am] we have [Em] panted
[C] Working my [Em] way toward [D] a union [Em] in this
[C] We don't [Em] fare well with [A] them less [E] reprimanded
[C] We don't [E] do well with the [Am] life served as [E] a sentence
[C] This [E] won't work well with your [A] helmets on [Em] your fence
[C] And [B] who [A] else stands your [Em] distance?
