Gatekeeper Lyrics

Welcome to the show I'm sure you already know

I'm the greatest folk singer around

I played every shitty bar

In every bum fuck town

I played the fest and Plan it X

You could read about it in Punk News

And when I ain't ripping off Pat B

You can catch me in my Mom's spare room

And I wrote over a million songs

But I only used four chords

Only believe half of what you read

On the folk punk reddit boards

See we got this thing called gatekeeping

It keeps folks like you away

After all don't want to lose my spot

To the blacks, trans, or the gays

Gatekeeper

I'm the grim reaper

Scourge of the music scene

To you it's DIY or die

It's the opposite for me

Gatekeeper

You're a street sweeper

I'm the king of the industry

Do anything to support the scene

But I ain't doing it for free

And I'll cancel you if you piss me off

Tell all the girls I met online

When they find out my true intentions

I'm gonna make a b-line

For the door don't talk to me anymore

Are the words I will ignore

When my girlfriend finally finds out

I might as well stay on tour

Gatekeeper

I'm the grim reaper

Scourge of the music scene

To you it's DIY or die

It's the opposite for me

Gatekeeper

You're a street sweeper

I'm the king of all I see

Do anything to support the scene

But I ain't doing it for free

Unless of course it's for weed
