The Man's Too Strong
Lyrics 
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'm just an aging drummer boy and in the wars I used to play

Invented memories, I did burn all the books
And I can still hear his laughter and I can still hear his song
But I spat like a woman and I sulked like a child
Rewritten history with my armies of my crooks
The man's too big, the man's too strong
Oh father please help me for I have done wrong
I have run with the money, I have hid like a thief
You always was a judas but I got you anyway
Your sister gave me diamonds and I gave them to your wife
Father please hear my confession
Now they say I am a war criminal and I'm fading away
I have legalized robbery, called it belief
I'm just an aging drummer boy and in the wars I used to play
Striven for peace, which I never have known
Well I have tried to be meek and I have tried to be mild
I have lived behind walls, that have made me alone
You may have got your silver but I swear upon my life

The man's too big, the man's too strong
The man's too big, the man's too strong
And I've called the tune to many a torching session
And I can still hear his laughter and I can still hear his song
Well the sun rose on the courtyard and they all did hear him say
