[00:10.97]We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
[00:27.23]And now you throw us all aside and put us all away
[00:44.56]Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat her father so
[01:00.18]To wait upon him hand and foot, yet always tell him no
[01:12.96]
[01:16.73]Tears of rage, tears of grief
[01:24.50]Why must I always be the thief
[01:33.36]Come to me now, you know we're so alone
[01:42.32]And life is brief
[01:46.58]
[01:53.91]It was all so very painless when you ran out to receive
[02:10.53]All that false instruction which we never could believe
[02:26.88]And now the heart is filled with gold as if it were a purse
[02:43.57]But, oh, what kind of love is this which goes from bad to worse
[02:56.69]
[02:59.91]Tears of rage, tears of grief
[03:07.73]Why must I always be the thief
[03:16.39]Come to me now, you know we're so alone
[03:25.32]And life is brief
[03:29.76]
[03:37.15]We pointed you the way to go and scratched your name in sand
[03:53.60]Though you just thought it was nothing more than a place for you to stand
[04:10.79]I want you to know that while we watched you discover no one would be true
[04:26.67]That I myself was among the ones who thought it was just a childish thing to do
[04:39.43]
[04:43.26]Tears of rage, tears of grief
[04:51.16]Why must I always be the thief
[04:59.70]Come to me now, you know we're so alone
[05:08.78]And life is brief
