lyrics
Hey gatekeeper, tell me what you wanna see
How many times I gotta walk your line before you take a look at me
Oh Gatekeeper you give it all to your friends
They pat your back, keep you in the black, nothing changes in the end
Your high comes from keeping others low
You find the parts but you’re never gonna see the whole
Hey gatekeeper cut ‘em down so you feel tall
Seeking rent, counting every cent selling ladders by the wall
You got me bleeding like a stone
The deck is stacked the seeds are sown
So I’ll just do it on my own
Do it on my own
Hey gatekeeper, tell me what’s your role?
Wine and dine, always looking fine in the emperor's new clothes
Oh gatekeeper don’t try to tell me what you know
I had my ten thousand hours in about ten thousand hours ago
Your high comes from keeping others low
You fin d the parts but you’re never gonna see the whole
Oh gatekeeper won’t ever get the message through
Time will come when you know my name but by then I won’t remember you
You got me bleeding like a stone
The deck is stacked the seeds are sown
So I’ll just do it on my own
Do it on my own
You got me bleeding like a stone
The deck is stacked the seeds are sown
So I’ll just do it on my own
Do it on my own
How many times I gotta walk your line before you take a look at me
Oh Gatekeeper you give it all to your friends
They pat your back, keep you in the black, nothing changes in the end
Your high comes from keeping others low
You find the parts but you’re never gonna see the whole
Hey gatekeeper cut ‘em down so you feel tall
Seeking rent, counting every cent selling ladders by the wall
You got me bleeding like a stone
The deck is stacked the seeds are sown
So I’ll just do it on my own
Do it on my own
Hey gatekeeper, tell me what’s your role?
Wine and dine, always looking fine in the emperor's new clothes
Oh gatekeeper don’t try to tell me what you know
I had my ten thousand hours in about ten thousand hours ago
Your high comes from keeping others low
You fin d the parts but you’re never gonna see the whole
Oh gatekeeper won’t ever get the message through
Time will come when you know my name but by then I won’t remember you
You got me bleeding like a stone
The deck is stacked the seeds are sown
So I’ll just do it on my own
Do it on my own
You got me bleeding like a stone
The deck is stacked the seeds are sown
So I’ll just do it on my own
Do it on my own
