In a dream I had, all the rich were kind
And business not so bad, and justice not so blind
And no we needed more ‘cause you reaped just what you sowed
No one knockin’ at your door sayin’ you owed more than you owed

CHORUS
The banker’s boy, the boss’s son
They’re hoarding all the treasures their daddy’s won
And they think the vault won’t break come hell or high water
They always underestimate the safebreaker’s daughter
They always underestimate the safebreaker’s daughter

BREAK

They took the land away from the farmer’s daughter
And they took away the clay from the son of the potter
And with no drop of shame in their wheelin’ dealin’ eyes
So when the morning came all she left them were their lies

CHORUS

They took the rights away from the children of the free
They said that gold today is worth more than liberty
They didn’t think she’d find the stash they were stock pilin’
But she found the safe behind a picture of them smilin’


CHORUS:
The banker’s boy, the boss’s son
They’re hoarding all the treasures their daddy’s won
And they think the vault is safe but she’s smarter than they thought her
They always underestimate the safebreaker’s daughter

BREAK

BRIDGE
She don’t keep a dime and no bribe has ever bought her
She remembers all the things her daddy taught her
And you can’t lock her out, or put the chains about her
She won’t be denied, the safebreaker’s daughter
