Now they say I am a war criminal, and I'm a-fading away. Father, please hear my confession. I have legalized robbery and called it belief I have run with the money, I have hid like a thief I have rewritten 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
