[00:13.63]We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
[00:30.38]And now you throw us all aside and put us all away
[00:46.73]Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat her father so
[01:03.24]To wait upon him hand and foot, yet always answer no
[01:16.63]
[01:20.20]Tears of rage, tears of grief
[01:28.51]Why must I always be the thief
[01:36.94]Come to me now, you know we're so alone
[01:45.89]And life is brief
[01:50.67]
[01:58.15]It was all so very painless when you ran out to receive
[02:15.10]All that false instruction which we never could believe
[02:31.70]And now the heart is filled with gold as if it were a purse
[02:48.35]But, oh, what kind of love is this which goes from bad to worse
[03:02.20]
[03:05.24]Tears of rage, tears of grief
[03:13.19]Why must I always be the thief
[03:21.88]Come to me now, you know we're so alone
[03:30.93]And life is brief
[03:35.18]
[03:42.29]We pointed you the way to go and scratched your name in sand
[03:58.85]Though you thought that it was nothing more than a place for you to stand
[04:15.40]I want you to know that while we watched you discover no one would be true
[04:32.17]That I myself was among the ones who thought it was just a childish thing to do
[04:46.00]
[04:49.37]Tears of rage, tears of grief
[04:57.29]Why must I always be the thief
[05:06.08]Come to me now, you know we're so alone
[05:15.33]And life is brief
