Текст песни: The Man's Too Strong + перевод

I am just an aging 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 a-run with the money

And 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’ve 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 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
