This song is about people who sell out, they give up all that is important for status and wealth, then realize they are no better off but that they have sold themselves out.
You wanted a guilded Age
Traded freedom for a cage
now you look for a sage to
set you free
I hope you like your new digs
sleeping with the pigs
you danced to all of their jigs
didnt you
If you knew what you lack
You'd want it all back
but you don't even have a clue
do you?
do you?
You watched your stocks tank
you borrowed from the bank
you knew that something stank
didn't you
You left your bed unmade
right from wrong was greyed
the piper must now be payed
in full
chorus
