Pied Piper Lyrics

Pied Piper lyrics

Chorus:	 Insidiously they stand



	 In rows of color and light



	 Incredibly they demand



	 And get our precious quarters



	 And all the while, addicting us,



	 We hardly even fight



	 As they march us to our bankruptcy



	 Like lambs unto the slaughter







It all began with Pong and we should have stopped it then



These crazy games were never meant for mortal women and men



The harder that we try and the longer that we play



The lowe goes the wherewithal to live from day to day







In every city and town and each suburban mall



The video game arcade puts out its sweet seductive call



And all the kids around and droves of adult bands



Come marching to their pipers call with money in their hands







It's aliens I'm sure or else a Commie plot



To clean us out and wear us down and turn our brains to rot



I fight it more than most 'cause I know I never win



But that call creeps out to get me and I drop my quarter in
