Rage against the machine

Album:

Evil Empire

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 her 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
