It's not so hard to understand
What people see in you
You tell them it's okay to have
Their cake and eat it too
You traded truth for Godless gain
And no one will suspect
You're such a clever counterfeit
Of all that you reject

Pied Piper
Playin' the tune they want to hear
Putting a tickle in their ear
Pied Piper
Wanting them all to follow you
Not knowing where you lead them too
But all the time
You're leading them astray

The sheep just sit there grinning
As they listen to your lies
Never knowing when you pull
The wool over their eyes
You've got them trained to say "How high?"
Whenever you say "Jump"
And those who disagree with you
You always seem to stump
Pied Piper
Playin' the tune they want to hear
Putting a tickle in their ear
Pied Piper
Wanting them all to follow you
Not knowing where you lead them too
But all the time
You're leading them astray

You may not mean to harm a soul
You say you're innocent
But when the final tally comes
You made more than you spent
You knew they'd have to pay the price
For listening to you
You knew before too long they'd have
To pay the Piper too

Pied Piper
Playin' the tune they want to hear
Putting a tickle in their ear
Pied Piper
Wanting them all to follow you
Not knowing where you lead them too
But all the time
You're leading them astray
