It's not so hard to understand what people see in you
You tell them it's o.k. 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 playing the tune they want to hear
Putting a tickle in their ear
Pied Piper wanting them all to follow you
No knowing where you lead them to
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 of listening to you
You knew before too long
They'd have to pay the Piper too
