Tears Of Rage - Remastered

We carried you in our arms
 On Independence Day
 And now you'd throw us all aside
 And put us all away
 Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun
 Could treat a father so?
 To wait upon him hand and foot
 Yet, always tell him, "No"
 Tears of rage, tears of grief
 Why must I always be the thief?
 Come to me now, you know we're so low
 And life is brief
 It was all so very painless
 When you ran out to receive
 All that false instruction
 Which we never could believe
 And now the heart is filled with gold
 As if it was a purse
 But, oh, what kind of love is this
 Which goes from bad to worse?
 Tears of rage, tears of grief
 Why must I always be the thief?
 Come to me now, you know we're so low
 And life is brief
 We pointed you the way to go
 And scratched your name in sand
 Though you just thought it was nothing more
 Than a place for you to stand
 I want you to know that while we watched
 You discovered no one would be true
 That I myself was among the ones who thought
 It was just a childish thing to do
 Tears of rage, tears of grief
 Why must I always be the thief?
 Come to me now, you know we're so low
 And life is brief
