The Man's Too Strong   I'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 And sulked like a child I have lived behind walls That have made me alone Striven for pease Which I never have knows And I can still hear his laughter and I can still hear his song The man's too big The man's to strong
