The Man's Too Strong歌词

作词 : Knopfler
作曲 : Knopfler
I'm just and 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 her my confession

I have legalised robbery

Called it a belief
I have run with the money

And hid like a theif

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 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 sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
That have made me alone

Which I have never 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 were 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
