Dire Straits - The Man's Too Strong

Lyrics:

I'm just and ageing drummer boy
And in the wars I used to play
And I've called the 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 legalised robbery
Called it a belief
I have run with the money
And hid like a theif
I have 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 have tried to be meek
And I have tried to be mild
But I spat like a woman
And sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I have never 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 were 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

You can stop being tired of the black/white thing. Although easy to understand why you thought this, he says WAR criminal not white criminal. There is nothing racist about this song.

[Michael Roberts]

Tired of this black/white thing?

First of all there is no such thing as a black or white person.

Skin cannot produce black, nor does it produce white. You take the "whitest" person you know and put their skin against a white piece of paper, and you'll see.
