The Lyrics

So much for the highly lauded "security gates" ...
You keep saying you leave them open for us
as common courtesy, but confess:
You’ve no idea why these gates keep getting broken.
or why they just won’t stay fixed. They’re such a mess.

THESE GATES WERE MADE FOR CLOSING
and that’s what they should do.
One of these days THESE GATES are gonna lock in front of you.

You keep saying someone wants them left open.
And still you advertise your security’s best.
Yeah, into these gates some stubborn fool keeps crashing.
Though he’s paid in full, you still ain’t fixed the rest.

CHORUS

You keep waiting for parts never delivered.
Do the owners know their park’s in disrepair?
Coyotes, cougars and raccoons know it’s wide open.
Next week you just might meet a polar bear.
