THE MAN'S TOO STRONG

[Micky]

The Man's Too Strong - dedicated to Muammar Muhammad al-Caddafi.



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 legalized robbery
And called it a belief,
I have run with the money
And hid like a thief,
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!

(With apologies to Mark Knopfler.)

Gaddafi is a goner.

All dictators end up in a bad way eventually, that madman won't be any different.

I hope all of his sons are killed, autopsy photos released on the internet.

If all his sons are killed, then his tribe won't have anybody to appoint in his place. Yes, that's worth hoping for.
