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 noone will suspect

You're such a clever counterfeit of all that you reject



(Chorus)

Pied piper, playin' the tune they want to hear

Putting a tickle in their ear

Pied piper, wanting them all to follow you

Not know 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



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
