THE MAN'S TOO STRONG
TEXT : MARK KNOPFLER
MUSIK : MARK KNOPFLER
INTERPRET: DIRE STRAITS
--------------------------------------------------
I'm just an 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 belief
i have run with the money
and hid like a thief
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 laugter
and i can still hear his song
the man's too strong
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
thaqt 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 sing
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 you silver
but I swear unpon 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 strongg.
