   The Man’s Too Strong   
   Song by Dire Straits   
      
   I am just an ageing drummer boy   
   And in the wars I used to play   
   And I've called a tune to many-a-torture session   
   Now they say I am a war criminal   
   And I'm fading away   
   Father, please hear my confession   
   … I have legalized robbery, called it belief   
   I have run with the money   
   I have a-hid like a thief   
   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've tried to be meek   
   I have tried to be mild   
   But I spat like a woman and I sulked like a child   
   I have lived behind walls that have made me alone   
   Striven for peace   
   Which I never have 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 was a Judas, but I backed you anyway   
   You may have got your silver, but I swear upon my life   
   Your sister gave me diamonds   
   And I give 'em to your wife   
   … Oh, Father, please help me   
   For I have done wrong   
   The man's too big   
   The man's too strong
