He was the son of a snake oil salesman and a philanthropic mother / Daddy taught him to be heartless, mommy taught him to think of others / For a time he was conflicted but the ruthless side won out / And I was on the losing end when the wrecking ball came down / I was on the outside, I was standing in the rain / Trying to get to heaven on a hell-bound train / But they took away my humanity and they tied me down in chains / And I’ve got the Rockefellers to blame / The most hated man in America made a fortune on the Civil War / Shipping weapons of mass destruction and soldiers by the score / And his Ohio factories refined Pennsylvania crude / Brought on the Cleveland massacre in 1872 / I was on the outside, I was standing in the rain / Trying to get to heaven on a hell-bound train / But they took away my humanity and they tied me down in chains / And I’ve got the Rockefellers to blame / Now the poor man is the pipeline decaying into rust / And the rich man dances with the devil who goes by the name of trust / And he will say it’s child’s play to live the American dream / But if you begin in the hole my friend you won’t survive the game of Monopoly / I was on the outside, I was standing in the rain / Trying to get to heaven on a hell-bound train / But they took away my humanity and they tied me down in chains / And I’ve got the Rockefellers to blame / Now the tentacles of the octopus reach all around the earth / We can’t avoid their stranglehold, they choke us all at birth / They cannot feel compassion, they cannot feel remorse / It’s just like letting a psychopath steer our children’s course / I was on the outside, I was standing in the rain / Trying to get to heaven on a hell-bound train / But they took away my humanity and they tied me down in chains / And I’ve got the Rockefellers to blame
