Keeper Of The Gate Lyrics
It’s hard to find an inquiring mind
Hard to get in line with no one to stand behind
Time and time and time again
The businessmen that pretend to act like your friends get your ends and then
Ghost. Move along to the next mark
You’re stuck still double parked alone in the dark
Keepsake, you keep to keep you safe but
You can only stay awake so long before your eyes shut
Open up what you got when you get it
Wait too long and it’s gone then you can forget it
I said it: that you’d let it slip right through the crack
Stacks of cash that can’t be tracked that now you’ll never get back
Don’t act surprised that the victimized lie, too
They try to monopolize the truth to deny you
Eye you from a fucking mile away
Making damn sure that’s where you stay
They say a sucker is born every minute
So’s a selfish motherfucker only in it to win it
Spin your wheels any way that you like
But it’s you they gonna ride like a bike
The good get got every day
You pay to dig your own grave
Better watch what you say
Ain’t no one gonna save you
Grab a shovel because it’s time to begin
Given, you’re done the second that you start diggin’
Linchpin, unravellin’ at the seams
Supreme beings siphoning life force streams from the source
Of course you can’t enforce a clinical mindset
No time left to dry the eyes that you find wet
Safe bet, unwarned about the storm
You’re misinformed, dissed by the system’s the norm
The swarm’s only as strong as the queen bee
She be sitting pretty with the bourgeoisie
You see only what they show
But you ain’t in the know sitting in the front row
So, grab a seat cause it’s time for show and tell
You shell out cash for the intel the shills sell
Sleep well, you’d better get some rest
Depressed, a guest in your own home at best
It’s all a test and it’s one that you just failed
Exhale all the toxic fumes you just inhaled
The keeper’s waiting for you at the gate
It’s way too late to change your fate, no debate
The good get got every day
You pay to dig your own grave
They always get their own way
Ain’t no one gonna save you
The swarm’s only as strong as the queen bee
She be sitting pretty with the bourgeoisie
Nimbly dancing on your grave
Enslaved, engrained in brain waves to behave
They’ve said a sucker is born every minute
So’s a selfish motherfucker only in it to win it
Spin your wheels any way that you like
But it’s you they gonna ride like a bike
The good get got every day
You pay to dig your own grave
They cannot be kept at bay
Ain’t no one gonna save you
