Bob Dylan - Tears Of Rage Lyrics
We carried you in our armsOn independence day,And now youd throw us all asideAnd put us on our way.Oh what dear daughter neath the sunWould treat a father so,To wait upon him hand and footAnd always tell him, no?Tears of rage, tears of grief,Why must I always be the thief?Come to me now, you knowWere so aloneAnd life is brief.We pointed out the way to goAnd scratched your name in sand,Though you just thought it was nothing moreThan a place for you to stand.Now, I want you to know that while we watched,You discover there was no one true.Most evrybody really thoughtIt was a childish thing to do.Tears of rage, tears of grief,Must I always be the thief?Come to me now, you knowWere so lowAnd life is brief.It was all very painlessWhen you went out to receiveAll that false instructionWhich we never could believe.And now the heart is filled with goldAs if it was a purse.But, oh, what kind of love is thisWhich goes from bad to worse?Tears of rage, tears of grief,Must I always be the thief?Come to me now, you knowWere so lowAnd life is brief.
