Tears Of Rage Lyrics - Bob Dylan

We carried you in our arms 

On Independence Day, 

And now you throw us all aside 

And put us on our way. 

Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun 

Would treat a father so, 

To wait upon him hand and foot 

And always tell him, "No"? 

Tears of rage, tears of grief, 

Why am I always the one who must be the thief? 

Come to me now, you know 

We're so alone 

And life is brief.

We pointed out 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. 

Now, I want you to know that while you watched, 

You discover there was no one true. 

That I myself really thought 

It was a just a childish thing to do. 

Tears of rage, tears of grief, 

Why am I always the one who must be the thief? 

Come to me now, you know 

We're so low 

And life is brief.

It was all very very painless 

When you went out to receive 

All that false instruction 

Which we never could believe. 

And now the heart is filled with gold 

As if it was a purse. 

But, oh, what kind of love is this 

Which goes from bad to worse? 

Tears of rage, tears of grief, 

Why am I always the one who must be the thief? 

Come to me now, you know 

We're so low 

And life is brief.
