Gatekeeper
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
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

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
