Dire Straits
The Man's Too Strong

I'm just and ageing drummer boy
And in the wars I used to play
And I've called the 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 legalised robbery
Called it a 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 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 sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I have never 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 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 man's too big
The man's too strong


Mirror lyrics:

The man's too strong
The man's too big
For I have done wrong
Oh father please help me
And I gave them to your wife'
Your sister gave me diamonds
But I swear upon my life
You may have got your silver
But I got you anyway
'You always were a Judas
And they all did hear him say
Well the sun rose on the courtyard

The man's too strong
The man's too big
And I can still hear his song
And I can still hear his laughter
Which I have never known
Striven for peace
That have made me alone
I have lived behind walls
And sulked like a child
But I spat like a woman
And I have tried to be mild
Well I have tried to be meek

The man's too strong
The man's too big
And I can still hear his song
And I can still hear his laughter
I did burn all the books
Invented memories
With my armies and my crooks
I have re-written history
And hid like a theif
I have run with the money
Called it a belief
I have legalised robbery

Father please hear my confession
And I'm fading away
Now they say I am a war criminal
To many a torture session
And I've called the tune
And in the wars I used to play
I'm just and ageing drummer boy
