The Man's Too Strong Lyrics - Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits

I'm just an aging drummer boy 

And in the wars I used to play 

And I've called the tune 

To many a torching session 

Now they say I am a war criminal 

And I'm fading away 

Father please hear my confession 

I have legalised robbery 

Called it belief 

I have run with the money 

I have hid like a thief 

I have re-written history 

With my armies of 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 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 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
