๐ Lyrics
I am just an ageing drummer boy
And in the wars I used to play
And I've called a 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 legalized robbery
Called it belief
I have run with the money
I have a-hid like a thief
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 tried to be meek
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 backed you anyway
You may have got your silver
But I swear upon my life
Your sister gave me diamonds
And I give 'em to your wife
Oh Father, please help me
For I have done wrong
The man's too big
The man's too strong
And in the wars I used to play
And I've called a 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 legalized robbery
Called it belief
I have run with the money
I have a-hid like a thief
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 tried to be meek
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 backed you anyway
You may have got your silver
But I swear upon my life
Your sister gave me diamonds
And I give 'em to your wife
Oh Father, please help me
For I have done wrong
The man's too big
The man's too strong
