Pied Pipers

[Verse 1] They play a pretty tune with diplomas in their hands Promising the future if you follow their plans They take your money, they take your youth Then hand you a paper that’s worth less than the truth [Pre-Chorus] They smile while they sell you chains They dress it up as knowledge and change They know the game, they know the cost But they still tell you that your future’s not lost [Chorus] Pied pipers… パイドパイパー They lead you away with a song in the dark Pied pipers… パイドパイパー They take your money and they steal your heart They promise you freedom, they promise you light But they’re leading you straight into debt for life パイドパイパー And they’ll keep playing until you break [Verse 2] They sell you dreams wrapped in expensive ink Tell you the paper will help you think But the jobs aren’t there, the wages are low And the debt keeps growing wherever you go [Pre-Chorus] They don’t care if you sink or swim They already got paid for the lie they sold you in They’ll take the next batch when you’re finally gone And play the same song to the next one [Chorus] Pied pipers… パイドパイパー They lead you away with a song in the dark Pied pipers… パイドパイパー They take your money and they steal your heart They promise you freedom, they promise you light But they’re leading you straight into debt for life パイドパイパー And they’ll keep playing until you break [Bridge] They don’t teach you how to think They teach you how to obey and sink Into the system they helped create While they collect the money and seal your fate [Final Chorus] Pied pipers… パイドパイパー Your song is ending, your game is through パイドパイパー I see what you’re doing, I’m coming for you I load the silver, I speak the rite Some monsters learned to teach in the light パイドパイパー And I came here to silence you tonight [Outro] パイドパイパー… Your song is over The children are waking And they’re not following anymore
