The Man's Too Strong - Dire Straits

'm just an ageing drummer boy

And in the wars I used to play

And I’ve called the tune

To many a tortune session

Now they say I am war criminal

And I’m fading away

So father please hear my confession

I have legalized robbery

Galled belief

I have run with the money

And hid like a thief

I have rewritten history

With my armies and my crooks

Invented memories

I did burn all the books And I can still hear his laughter

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
