[Verse 1]
Oh child, you've flown too close to the sun
You've forgotten your place here
Wild one, so bold, out there on your own
It soon will be clear who's blessings you ride upon

[Chorus]
So you want the prize if you wanna make it
You've got to play the game
Do you want the truth? Well nothing's free, babe
You've got to give to take, Gate Keeper

[Post-Chorus]
When you're in his favor (Gate Keeper)
He can grant it all (Gate Keeper)
When you're in his favor (Gate Keeper)

[Interlude]
So let me tell you something you should know

[Verse 2]
You wanna be someone in this town
Then you gotta see the king and bow down
He's the one, emperor, sultan supreme, yeah
Oh he can be gracious (he can be)
He can put your name in lights that shine so bright
Build you up, create this, he can make or break!
[Pre-Chorus]
So do you really want it enough
And do you really have it in your blood
Do you really wanna get inside
Do you want, do you want, do you want

[Chorus]
So you want the prize if you wanna make it
You've got to play the game
Do you want the truth? Well nothing's free, babe
You've got to give to take, Gate Keeper

[Post-Chorus]
When you're in his favor (Gate Keeper)
He can grant it all (Gate Keeper)
When you're in his favor (Gate Keeper)
Gate Keeper, Gate Keeper

[Interlude]
You do well to remember the name and remember your place

[Bridge]
It seems you've spoken out of turn
Too wrapped up in the lush of the gifts he gave
Have you forgot your place
Have you forgot the hand that feeds
'Cause he can make you and he can break you
'Cause I can make you and I can break you
[Outro]
'Cause I can make you and I can break you
