lyrics

I'm the daughter
Of the oil tycoon
Rockefeller
Couldn't hold a candle to you

Built an empire (ooh)
On the backs of the working poor
Fortune teller (ooh)
Told me I would start a civil war

A dynasty from olden days
Got rich peddling kerosene (kerosene)
It took me sixteen years to come to my senses
Give him the guillotine (guillotine)

And the well of fortune is dry
And I'm out on the picket line (picket line)
I saved up a lifetime of lies
Muckraker till the day I die (day she dies)
Muckraker till the day I die (day she dies)
Oil daughter's gone by dawn's early light
I'm the daughter (she's the daughter)
I'm the daughter (yes she is)

I'm the daughter (oil daughter)
Of the oil tycoon (fat cat suit)
Hell or high water (no matter the price)
I'm throwing out my silver spoon (riches to rags)

There's a whole lotta money in this small town
But the people don't own the machine
Going undercover, gonna change my last name
Give him the guillotine (guillotine)

And the well of fortune is dry
And I'm out on the picket line (picket line)
I gave up a lifetime of lies
Muckraker till the day I die (day she dies)
Muckraker till the day I die (day she dies)
Oil daughter's gone by dawn's early light
I'm the daughter (she's the daughter)
I'm the daughter (yes she is)

I'm the daughter (there she goes, rabble rouser)
Of the oil tycoon (bring him down, make a scene)
Rockefeller (oooh)
Couldn't hold a candle to you (no no no no)

She's the daughter (I'm the daughter)
Of the oil tycoon (the oil tycoon)
Storyteller
Disavowed her father's rule

I'm the daughter (revolution)
Of the oil tycoon (revolution)
I'm the daughter (revolution)
Of the oil tycoon (revolution)
I'm the daughter (revolution)
Of the oil tycoon (revolution)
