[Verse 1] Line up Take a number They got forms for your hunger Stamp dreams File thunder Turn wonder into blunder Grey wall Dead plants Same pen Same stance "Sign here Don't dance" I doodle my revolt in the margin by chance Clock ticks I'm tallying lies They shuffle my hope into pending replies "Come back Tuesday"—I came back twice Now I’m rewriting the rules in the back of the line [Chorus] I raged against the desk Now I’m the desk on fire Paper crown crooked But the throne sits higher Queued up Chewed up Now I run the choir From ticket A-one to the top of the wire I raged against the stamp Now I stamp desire Turned their labyrinth into my empire They said "fall in line " I rewrote the sign Now the leader of the queue is mine [Verse 2] Rubber stamp roulette Click Clack Quiet threat "Policy " they all fret I read the fine print Found the exit they forget Learned codes Loopholes Acronyms Spoke fluent form Beat them in their own hymn They pushed me out I pushed the system’s rim Turned every "cannot" into "given that I win" Now they knock on my glass "Can you move my file fast?" I slide it back Half-laugh "Take a seat This rebellion runs on drafts" (hey!) [Chorus] I raged against the desk Now I’m the desk on fire Paper crown crooked But the throne sits higher Queued up Chewed up Now I run the choir From ticket A-one to the top of the wire I raged against the stamp Now I stamp desire Turned their labyrinth into my empire They said "fall in line " I rewrote the sign Now the leader of the queue is mine [Bridge] Raise your pens up Black ink banner Sign your name in your own damn manner Every rule’s just dried-up chatter Till someone scribbles "me" in the box marked "other" (oh yeah) [Chorus] I raged against the desk Now I’m the desk on fire Paper crown crooked But the throne sits higher Queued up Chewed up Now I run the choir From ticket A-one to the top of the wire I raged against the stamp Now I stamp desire Turned their labyrinth into my empire They said "fall in line " I rewrote the sign Now the leader of the queue is mine
