[00:17.40]We carried you in our arms
[00:18.90]On Independence Day,
[00:29.79]And now you'd throw us all aside
[00:38.28]And put us on our way.
[00:42.84]Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun
[00:45.06]Would treat a father so,
[00:45.75]To wait upon him hand and foot
[01:01.50]And always tell him, "No"?
[01:07.74]Tears of rage, tears of grief,
[01:14.04]Why must I always be the thief?
[01:20.43]Come to me now, you know
[01:24.39]We're so alone
[01:28.35]And life is brief.
[01:36.36]We pointed out the way to go
[01:42.33]And scratched your name in sand,
[01:49.35]Though you just thought it was nothing more
[01:52.44]Than a place for you to stand.
[01:58.32]Now, I want you to know that while we watched,
[02:06.57]You discover there was no one true.
[02:18.99]Most ev'rybody really thought
[02:19.74]It was a childish thing to do.
[02:27.24]Tears of rage, tears of grief,
[02:33.66]Must I always be the thief?
[02:39.66]Come to me now, you know
[02:41.67]We're so low
[02:42.21]And life is brief.
[02:57.33]It was all very painless
[03:01.86]When you went out to receive
[03:08.28]All that false instruction
[03:14.46]Which we never could believe.
[03:20.88]And now the heart is filled with gold
[03:29.22]As if it was a purse.
[03:34.50]But, oh, what kind of love is this
[03:40.02]Which goes from bad to worse?
[03:46.26]Tears of rage, tears of grief,
[03:52.86]Must I always be the thief?
[03:58.83]Come to me now, you know
[04:01.98]We're so low
[04:06.18]And life is brief.
