Band The Tears Of Rage Lyrics

Tears Of Rage Lyrics

We carried you in our arms on Independence Day 

 And now you throw us all aside and put us all away 

 Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat her father so? 

 To wait upon him hand and foot, yet always tell him "no" 

  

 (CHORUS) Tears of rage, tears of grief 

 Why must I alway be the thief? 

 Come to me now, you know we're so alone 

 And life is clean 

  

 It was all so very painless when you ran out to receive 

 All that false instruction which we never could believe 

 And now the heart is filled with gold as if it were a purse 

 But, oh, what kind of love is this which goes from bad to worse? 

  

 (REPEAT CHORUS) 

  

 We pointed you the way to go and scratched your name in sand 

 Though you just thought it was nothing more than a place for you to stand 

 I want you to know that while we watched you discover no one would be true 

 That I myself was among the ones who thought it was just a childish thing to
do 

  

 (REPEAT CHORUS
