Pied Pipper
by The Stand

Album: Never Say Dinosaur

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 the game,
You're such a clever counterfeit of all...all that you reject.

Pied piper - playing the tune,
Pied piper - that they want to hear,
Putting a tickle in their ear, playing around with all their fears,
Pied piper - wanting them all,
Pied piper - to follow you,
Never 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,
Got them trained to say, "How high?" whenever you say, "Jump and dive,"
And those who disagree with you, you al-always seem to stump.

Pied piper - playing the tune,
Pied piper - that they want to hear,
Putting a tickle in their ear and playing around with all their fears,
Pied piper - wanting them all,
Pied piper - to follow you,
Never knowing where you lead them to, but all the time...

Say you meant to no harm, say that you're innocent,
But when the final tally comes, you made more than you spent.

You knew you'd have to pay the price for listening to you, that's right,
You knew before too long you'd have to pay...pay the piper too.

Hey.

Pied piper - playing the tune,
Pied piper - that they want to hear,
Putting a tickle in their ear, driving the pain with all their tears,
Pied piper - wanting them all,
Pied piper - to follow you,
Never knowing where you lead them to, but all the time leading them astray.

Pied piper,
Pied piper,
Pied piper, (leading them astray)
Pied piper,
Pied piper,
Pied piper, (leading them astray)
Pied piper,
Pied piper.
