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 have legalized robbery, called it belief
I have run with the money, i have hid like a thief
Rewritten history with my armies of 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 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
