Every Door Has Got A Gate***

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

They built a gate down by the water

Every scandal got a name

A suffix nailed to every failure

Turns the truth into a game

I read the headlines in the morning

Sifted rumor from the fact

Someone always takes the fall

And the gate stays standing after all

Chorus

Every door has got a gate

Every gate a keeper

Every keeper turns away

Counting what they keep

Every door has got a gate

Every gate a number

Every number buried deep

Underneath the street

Drop

Gate gate open wide

Who you hiding deep inside

Gate gate open wide

Who you hiding deep inside

Verse 2

My neighbor signed a deal he never read

Believed the shiny thing instead

Now the auditors wear plain clothes

And the paper trail just grows

We trade our trust for a lowercase name

A brass plate and a little blame

The river runs right under the wall

It never asked to be involved at all

Pre-Chorus

Oh the gates keep rising

The names keep rhyming

Watch the men keep smiling

(Keep smiling)

Chorus

Every door has got a gate

Every gate a keeper

Every keeper turns away

Counting what they keep

Every door has got a gate

Every gate a number

Every number buried deep

Underneath the street

Bridge

Pass the ledger pass the blame

Slap a label on the shame

One more gate to keep the story straight

One more star behind the gate

Drop

Gate gate open wide

Who you hiding deep inside

Gate gate open wide

Who you hiding deep inside
