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
