Ghost In The Queue

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to book a room by name Now they book a program frame It learns my hook in half a day Then hands it out at cheaper pay I saw my hours disappear One by one, they sold the year A demo voice, a polished face Took the lunch gig, took the place [Pre-Chorus] And I can't outtalk the math Can't outrun the cheaper path Every blank form gets the same reply "Thanks for sending, we'll be fine" [Chorus] Ghost in the queue Ghost in the queue It took my song, then took my dues Ghost in the queue Ghost in the queue I built the room, now it's built for you (for you) [Verse 2] My friend sold beat by beat online Then watched a bot sell twenty-nine A label wants a faster draft A thousand cuts from one blank craft The wedding calls, the ad spot too The little jobs I used to do They say, "It's smart, it's saving time" I hear a door click out of mine [Pre-Chorus] And I can't outtalk the math Can't outrun the cheaper path Every blank form gets the same reply "Thanks for sending, we'll be fine" [Chorus] Ghost in the queue Ghost in the queue It took my song, then took my dues Ghost in the queue Ghost in the queue I built the room, now it's built for you (for you) [Bridge] I don't hate the code, I hate the greed The way it feeds on what we need A human hand, a paid-in-full A week, a mic, a room, a stool If you're gonna take our names Leave the rent, leave the shame Let a person make the line Let a human still get signed [Final Chorus] Ghost in the queue Ghost in the queue It took my song, then took my dues Ghost in the queue Ghost in the queue I built the room, now it's built for you (for you) Ghost in the queue Ghost in the queue Somebody's work is now your use Ghost in the queue Ghost in the queue Don't let the makers lose to you (to you)
