Mans Too Strong - by Dire Straits

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpWS1dlm5i8

I'm just an 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 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 I sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I have 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 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 give em to THE wife'

Oh father please help me
For I have done wrong
The man's too big
The man's too strong

one of the comments says the song was about Rudolph Hess who was
Hitlers right hand man

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Hess

does seem to fit - maybe Hitler is the wife

song could be about evil in general - or Mr Hitler / Mr Evil
