The Mans Too Strong Lyric by Dire Straits

The Mans Too Strong Lyric

by Dire Straits

Lyric:



I'm Just An Aging Drummer Boy And In The Wars I Used To Play

And I've Called The Tune To Many A Torching Session

Now They Say I Am A War Criminal And I'm Fading Away

Father, Please, Hear My Confession



I Have Legalized Robbery, Called It Belief

I Have Run With The Money, I Have Hid Like A Thief

Rewritten History With My Armies Of 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 I Sulked Like A Child

I Have Lived Behind Walls That 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 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 Was 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
