Tears Of Rage [take 1] Lyrics - The Bootleg Series, Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes – Complete - Band

We carried you in our arms on Independence Day 

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

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

To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him "No" 

Tears of rage, tears of grief 

Why must I always be the thief? 

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

And life is brief 

It was all 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 must I always be the thief? 

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

And life is brief 

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 discovered no one would be true 

That I myself was among 

The ones who thought 

It was just a childish thing to do 

Photos 

Tears of rage, tears of grief 

Why must I always be the thief? 

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

And life is brief
