dire straits - the man's too strong lyrics
[a]
i am just an aging 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
[b1]
i have legalized robbery
called it belief
i have a-run with the money
and 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
[instrumental intensity]
[b2]
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
[instrumental intensity]
[b3]
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
[instrumental intensity]
[instrumental]
