[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
I have legalized robbery, called it belief
I have a-run with the money, I have hid like a thief
Re-written history with my armies and my crooks
Invented memories, I did burn all the books
[Chorus]
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
[Verse 2]
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
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
[Verse 1]
I have legalized robbery, called it belief
I have a-run with the money, I have hid like a thief
Re-written history with my armies and my crooks
Invented memories, I did burn all the books
[Chorus]
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
[Verse 2]
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
