[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Jimi Hendrix]
We carry to you
In arms
On Independence Day
And uh, now you throw us
All aside
Put us on our way
Oh, when the daughter
Beneath the sun
Treat her father so
Wait upon him
Hand and foot
Always answer "No"
Well, I'll say:

[Chorus: Unknown]
Tears of rage
Tears of greed
I must not be the one who does either thing
Come to me now, you know it
So all alone
And life is free

[Verse 2: Jimi Hendrix]
We point it out to you
The way to go
And scratch your name in sand
Though you thought it was
Nothing more than a
Cool place for you to stand
And I want you to know
That while we watched you discover
There was no one truе
By myself, yeah
Remеmber now
Was a challenging thing to do
[Chorus: Unknown]
Tears of rage
Tears of greed
Why am I always the one [?]
Come to me now, you know it
So all alone
And life is free

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 3: Jimi Hendrix]
Is was all
The painless
When you went out to recieve
All that false instruction
Which we could never believe
And now my heart
Is filled with gold
If it was a purse
Oh, what kind of love is this?
Which goes from bad to worse?
Yeah

[Chorus: Unknown]
Tears of rage
Tears of greed
Why am I always the one who is [?]
Come to me now, you know it
So all alone
And life is free
[Harmonica Outro]
