6. Gatekeeper (3:25)
You've lost touch
You've lost touch with the outcasts
Have you forgotten your own past?
Have you forgotten that your house is made of glass (is made of glass)?
So while you're pointing your fingers
You are unable to use your hands to help with solving, solving real and present problems
'Cause we're appealing and you've become too perfect to understand
You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Trying to keep others in despair
Trying to keep others in despair
I don't want you to get dirty recaching down to a lowly creature
I don't want you to shoe mercy and make me like you, self-righteous preacher
Did you think you were the only one
The only one who held the keys?
Did you hope that your judgement would
Spread just like a disease?
You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Trying to keep others in despair
The self importance of the moral elite
To think that their approval means anything
So eager to capitalize
Capitalize on other people's pain
But when the healing begins
So quick to turn away
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten your own past?
You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Keeping others in despair
You've lost touch with the outcasts
Have you forgotten your own past?
Have you forgotten that your house is made of glass (is made of glass)?
So while you're pointing your fingers
You are unable to use your hands to help with solving, solving real and present problems
'Cause we're appealing and you've become too perfect to understand
You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Trying to keep others in despair
Trying to keep others in despair
I don't want you to get dirty recaching down to a lowly creature
I don't want you to shoe mercy and make me like you, self-righteous preacher
Did you think you were the only one
The only one who held the keys?
Did you hope that your judgement would
Spread just like a disease?
You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Trying to keep others in despair
The self importance of the moral elite
To think that their approval means anything
So eager to capitalize
Capitalize on other people's pain
But when the healing begins
So quick to turn away
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten your own past?
You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Keeping others in despair
