lyrics

You never do that to the boys
And always say you’re on our side
We’ll never catch you if we play your game
Play your game

You didn’t give us any choice
You always say we have the prize
We’ll never stop you if we play your game
Play your game

Gatekeeper, you put me outta work
How you gonna make up for what I do to put up with you?
Gatekeeper, you put me outta work
How you gonna make up for what I do to put up with you?

You never do that to the boys
(Why don’t you do it? Why don’t you do it?)
We’ll never catch you if we play your game
(Stick a needle right in your eye)
Play your game

You didn’t give us any choice
(Did you hear me on the first verse?)
We always save you half the price
(Why don’t you pay me more money?)
We'll never stop you if we play your game

He’s got a gift for runnin’ his mouth
Oh, he lies
(Play your game)
He lies, he lies, he lies!
Ohhhhhhhh!

Gatekeeper, you put me outta work!
How you gonna make up for what I do to put up with you?
Gatekeeper, you put me outta work!
How you gonna make up for what I do to put up with you?

Gatekeeper, you put me outta work!
How you gonna make up for what I do to put up with you?
Gatekeeper, you put me outta work!
How you gonna make up for what I do to put up with you?

Wanna make it right?
Want another try?
You always say that you’re on my side
I want another try
I wanna wrong your rights
You always say …
Are you gonna pay?

Open the gate
How long do we wait?
Stealing my fate
Please just

Open the gate
How long do we wait?
Stealing my fate
Please just

Open the gate
How long do we wait?
Stealing my fate
Please just

Open the gate
Stealing my fate
Stealing my fate
Right out from under me

Is it ever gonna be enough?
