Oh father please help me for I have done wrong
And I can still hear his laughter and I can still hear his song
Rewritten history with my armies of my crooks
Striven for peace, which I never have known
Invented memories, I did burn all the books
I have run with the money, I have hid like a thief
But I spat like a woman and I sulked like a child
Well the sun rose on the courtyard and they all did hear him say
The man's too big, the man's too strong
The man's too big, the man's too strong
I have lived behind walls, that have made me alone
Now they say I am a war criminal and I'm fading away
Father please hear my confession
Well I have tried to be meek and I have tried to be mild
I have legalized robbery, called it belief
Your sister gave me diamonds and I gave them to your wife
You always was a judas but I got you anyway
You may have got your silver but I swear upon my life
And I can still hear his laughter and I can still hear his song
