Steve Gates Keepin People Out lyrics

Keepin' People Out
When I was young I hated the union
(Keepin' people out by keeping people in)
See ‘em on the street say what are you doin'?
(Keepin' people out by keeping people in)
The NDP says they got my back but they all live in the city and drive a Cadillac
Now I'm old and safe and I'm part of the problem
Keepin' people out by keeping people in

Now I went down to the united nations
(keepin' people out by keeping people in)
They was tryin' to decide what to do with the Hatians
(keepin' people out by keeping people in)
Drop cherry blossoms from planes in the sky
An' we'll starve ‘em all to death with apple pie
Then we'll privatize the mail, hospital and jail
‘Cause we're keepin' people out by keeping people in

Back when I was young on the schoolyard playin'
(Keepin' people out by keeping people in)

I was in peter's little gang when a bully came chasin'
(Keepin' people out by keeping people in)
The bully went down when peter stepped in
He looked me in the eyes and said, “you're lucky you're in.”
Not a truer sentence ever been heard by my big ears
Keepin' people out by keeping people in

When I went to heaven I met saint peter
Said if I had your job you wouldn't get in neither
I could run this place more better than you
I'd send'em all south in a big canoe
But when I got to heaven they wouldn't take me neither
‘Cause they was keepin' people out by keeping people in

When I got to heaven they wouldn't take me neither
‘Cause I was keepin' people out by keeping people in
