The Man's Too Strong

[00:19.90] I am just an ageing drummer boy
[00:22.79] And in the wars I used to play
[00:24.85] And I've called a tune to many-a-torture session
[00:28.28] Now they say I am a war criminal
[00:32.29] And I'm fading away
[00:35.05] Father, please hear my confession
[00:46.84] I have legalized robbery, called it belief
[00:51.64] I have run with the money
[00:54.04] I have a-hid like a thief
[00:56.84] Re-written history with my armies and my crooks
[01:02.28] Invented memories
[01:06.74] I did burn all the books
[01:09.21] And I can still hear his laughter
[01:11.78] And I can still hear his song
[01:14.02] The man's too big
[01:18.32] The man's too strong
[01:42.24] Well, I've tried to be meek
[01:44.46] I have tried to be mild
[01:46.97] But I spat like a woman and I sulked like a child
[01:52.09] I have lived behind walls that have made me alone
[01:57.28] Striven for peace
[02:01.22] Which I never have known
[02:04.92] And I can still hear his laughter
[02:06.78] And I can still hear his song
[02:11.28] The man's too big
[02:13.50] The man's too strong
[02:37.50] Well, the sun rose on the courtyard
[02:40.16] And they all did hear him say
[02:42.43] You always was a Judas, but I backed you anyway
[02:47.46] You may have got your silver, but I swear upon my life
[02:53.02] Your sister gave me diamonds
[02:56.75] And I give 'em to your wife
[02:59.65] Oh, Father, please help me
[03:02.88] For I have done wrong
[03:07.27] The man's too big
[03:09.06] The man's too strong
[03:12.07]
