Lyrics

Beautiful and wealthy is our town of hamelin
Neighbors are green with envy, proud my fellow citizens
Our stomach's are full, our dreams are calm
We can either kill or buy all that comes our way

Please your honors – said he – i'm able
By means of a secret charm, to draw
All creatures living beneath the sun
That creep or swim or fly or run
After me so as you never saw!
And I chiefly use my charm
On creatures that do people harm
The mole and toad and newt and viper
And people call me the pied piper

But there's this small embarrassing thing
Filthy, disgusting, stinking rats
They don't belong here
They don't match
Did almighty lord create the scum?

You can have your perfect world
But you will have to pay the price

'Cause there's the small, embarrassing thing
Filthy, disgusting, stinking us
We don't belong here
We don't match
Your father in heavens didn't create us

Pay your bills fellow citizens
Or we will take your children with us
It's not about hatred, we're not your enemies
But you see, we have to feed the rats

And you will never learn
Who's the hunter and who's prey in this game
And you will never learn
Who is pied piper and who's rat in the end
And you will never learn
Who is the leader and who's been lead
