Dire Straits - The Mans Too Strong

The Mans Too Strong

Imjust and ageing drummer boy
And in the wars I used to play
And I have called the tune
To many a torture session
Now they say Ima war criminal
And Imfading away
Father please her my confession
I have legalised robbery
Called it 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 sti will hear his laughter
And I can sti will hear his song
The mans too big
The mans 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 wall
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I never have known
And I can sti will hear his laughter
And I can sti will hear his song
The mans too big
The mans too strong
Well the sun rose on the courtyard
And they all did hear himsay
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 mans too big
The mans too strong
