Oh you slaves of modern days Bound by chains of modern ways Are you bound by fate or choice Slaves to virtue Slaves to vice Oh you hungry hearts and souls You who crave for gold and glory Always feeding Always needing Wretched rats Bloated cats All the weary All the greedy All the hungry All the needy I am The Pied Piper You can trust in me I know a place Come with me Follow me Come with me I set you free Lead the rats into water Let them race to the end Lead the rodents The race of rats never ends Let the air fill with laughter Lead the rats into the water Let the air fill with laughter Lead the lamb to the slaughter People Build your lives On shattered dreams Always endlessly pursuing Always chasing Always racing Oh you good men Of great houses Build your fortune On misfortune Build your fortress Claim your land Bended backs And hIred hands All the weary All the greedy All the hungry All the needy I am The Pied Piper You can trust in me I know a place Come with me Follow me Come with me I set you free Let the air fill with laughter Lead the children to the water Let the air fill with laughter Lead the people to the slaughter
