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
