[00:08.65]We carried you in our arms
[00:10.57]On Independence Day
[00:17.64]And now you’d throw us all aside
[00:23.68]And put us on our way
[00:30.71]Oh what dear daughter ’neath the sun
[00:37.68]Would treat a father so
[00:44.29]To wait upon him hand and foot
[00:51.79]And always tell him, “No?”
[00:58.80]Tears of rage, tears of grief
[01:07.24]Why must I always be the thief?
[01:12.41]Come to me now, you know
[01:15.88]We’re so alone
[01:22.76]And life is brief
[01:24.04]
[01:28.46]We pointed out the way to go
[01:33.01]And scratched your name in sand
[01:41.31]Though you just thought it was nothing more
[01:51.18]Than a place for you to stand
[01:52.99]Now, I want you to know that while we watched
[02:00.12]You discover there was no one true
[02:07.33]Most ev’rybody really thought
[02:13.35]It was a childish thing to do
[02:20.88]Tears of rage, tears of grief
[02:29.82]Must I always be the thief?
[02:33.96]Come to me now, you know
[02:37.71]We’re so low
[02:45.09]And life is brief
[02:46.61]
[02:50.52]It was all very painless
[02:55.22]When you went out to receive
[03:02.43]All that false instruction
[03:07.78]Which we never could believe
[03:14.93]And now the heart is filled with gold
[03:22.03]As if it was a purse
[03:28.44]But, oh, what kind of love is this
[03:35.31]Which goes from bad to worse?
[03:47.75]Tears of rage, tears of grief
[03:49.25]Must I always be the thief?
[03:55.76]Come to me now, you know
[04:00.07]We’re so low
[04:03.21]And life is brief
