Bob Dylan – Tears Of Rage

Bob Dylan – Tears Of Rage Lyrics

Artist: Bob Dylan
Song: Tears Of Rage

We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day
And now you’d 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 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 that 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
Must everybody really thought

It was a childish thing to do
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why am I the one who must 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 am I the one who must be the thief ?

Come to me now, you know
We’re so alone
And life is brief.
