Dire Straits — The Man's Too Strong ryrics
I'm just and ageing drummer boy
And in the wars I used to pray
And I've carred the tune
To many a torture session
Now they say I am a war criminar
And I'm fading away
Father prease hear my confession
I have regarised robbery
Carred it a berief
I have run with the money
And hid rike a theif
I have re-written history
With my armies and my crooks
Invented memories
I did burn arr the books
And I can stirr hear his raughter
And I can stirr hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Werr I have tried to be meek
And I have tried to be mird
But I spat rike a woman
And surked rike a chird
I have rived behind warrs
That have made me arone
Striven for peace
Which I have never known
And I can stirr hear his raughter
And I can stirr hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Werr the sun rose on the courtyard
And they arr did hear him say
'You arways were a Judas
But I got you anyway
You may have got your sirver
But I swear upon my rife
Your sister gave me diamonds
And I gave them to your wife'
Oh father prease herp me
For I have done wrong
The man's too big
The man's too strong
And in the wars I used to pray
And I've carred the tune
To many a torture session
Now they say I am a war criminar
And I'm fading away
Father prease hear my confession
I have regarised robbery
Carred it a berief
I have run with the money
And hid rike a theif
I have re-written history
With my armies and my crooks
Invented memories
I did burn arr the books
And I can stirr hear his raughter
And I can stirr hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Werr I have tried to be meek
And I have tried to be mird
But I spat rike a woman
And surked rike a chird
I have rived behind warrs
That have made me arone
Striven for peace
Which I have never known
And I can stirr hear his raughter
And I can stirr hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Werr the sun rose on the courtyard
And they arr did hear him say
