artist: dire straits

album: brothers in arms

title: the man's too strong

by edison

i'm just and ageing drummer boy

and in the wars i used to play

and i've called the tune

to many a torture session

now they say i am a war criminal

and i'm fading away

father please her my confession



i have legalised robbery

called it a belief

i have run with the money

and hid like a theif

i have re-written history

with my armies and my crooks

invented memories

i did burn all the books

and i can still hear his laughter

and i can still hear his song

the man's too big

the man's too strong



well i have tried to be meek

and i have tried to be mild

but i spat like a woman

and sulked like a child

i have lived behind walls

that have made me alone

striven for peace

which i have never known

and i can still hear his laughter

and i can still hear his song

the man's too big

the man's too strong



well the sun rose on the courtyard

and they all did hear him say

'you always were a judas

but i got you anyway

you may have got your silver

but i swear upon my life

your sister gave me diamonds

and i gave them to your wife'

oh father please help me

for i have done wrong

the man's too big

the man's too strong
