Tears Of Rage Lyrics

We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
But now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away
What dear daughter 'neath the sun could love a father so
To wait upon him hand and foot and 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 for you to run and receive
All of that false instruction we never could believe.
And now the heart is filled with gold as if it was a purse
Oh, but what kind of love is this that 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
But you 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
And 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
